Super Eagles boss, Speaking after his side’s 2-1 win over Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday, says the team will play as if it had not played a first leg encounter when it clashes with the Waylas Antelope of Ethiopia in the second leg of the World Cu[ qualifying match on November 16, in the Canaan City of Calabar, Cross River State.
Speaking after his side’s 2-1 win over Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday, Keshi said he was not disappointed by the gritty display of the host and praised the resilience of his players in rebuffing them.
“The Ethiopians were very good and tactical and that shows how good their coach is, but we were the more experienced side and it showed at the end of the day,” he said.
The coach said the impact of the Eagles’ second half substitutes was massive as it had immediate impact on the match and eventually gave the team the upper hand.
In a similar vein, Bolton White Apartments, where the team has been quartering through its qualifiers and even before its Nations Cup win at South Africa 2013, has sent a heartwarming congratulations to the Super Eagles even as it urged the team to finish up the job in Calabar on November 16.
The General Manager of the apartment, John Essien, said in a letter to Keshi, dated October 14, 2013, that following the victory in Addis Ababa, the hotel can now be aptly dubbed: “Champions Camp Hotel”, while Calabar should
conveniently answer the “Winning City”.
