Eagles Won’t Take Iran Lightly –Keshi

DAILY INDEPENDENT

The Brazilians did not forget Stephen Keshi and his Super Eagles after the men in green swooped down to South America’s biggest country for the FIFA Confederations Cup last year. Though the team failed to go past the group stage that has world champions Spain and Copa America holders Uruguay, it did give a good account of itself and thrill the flair-obsessed locals. That was evident when the Nigerians arrived at the team hotel in Campinas, where innumerable animated fans were on hand to greet them. Here, in an interview with FIFA, Keshi reveals his surprise at that memorable welcome, discusses the way he believes football should be played, outlines what has let African sides down in the past, and weighs in on Iran, which Nigeria will commence its FIFA World Cup campaign against in Curitiba today.
