Former Green Eagles player, Felix Owolabi, says the country should not expect too much from coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi.
Owolabi said that the ‘Big Boss’, as Keshi is popularly called by his fans during his playing days, is not a miracle worker.
Speaking on RayPower early today, Owolabi stated that what the team need is total support from all Nigerians as the Eagles intensify preparations for their first major competitive match against Rwanda under Keshi.
“I’m glad that they have started very well by playing friendly games. We must commend the initiative of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF for this. We don’t need to put pressure on the coach for now. What Keshi needs is support from everyone to make the Eagles strong again,” the former 3SC of Ibadan player said.
Meanwhile, P.M. Sports can report that the home-based players called up to the Eagles’ camp for the international friendly tie against the Lone Star of Liberia on 15 February have started arriving their camp in Abuja.
