Coach Stephen Keshi
Eagles coach Stephen Keshi is quietly plotting the fall of Ethiopia, who they play in the final round of the 2014 World Cup qualfier
While maintaining his cool over the proposition that the Walya Antelopes would pose to the Super Eagles bid to reach their second successive World Cup finals, Keshi, we gathered has decided to come out with a strategic plan that would ensure Eagles safely land in Brazil without dropping a sweat..
The Ethiopians, the lowest ranked team of the 10 countries left in the African qualifying series for the 2014 soccer showpiece host the Eagles in the first leg in the weekend of October 11-15 while the reverse fixture holds between November 15-19 in Nigeria.
While football buffs have offered mixed reactions to the forthcoming duel, the man in the eye of the storm, Keshi, has said that he was taking the playoffs in his strides.
Keshi told a close friend that though the draw appears to favour Nigeria but he preferred to stay focussed and come up with a master plan for the matches
“Keshi told me that he though the draw seems to favour his favour but in reality that good preparation was the key to beating the Ethiopians. He is working on a master plan to ensure that the Eagles qualify without much hassles. And to do that, he must remain focussed and work harder on this plan”, said the source.
