The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been challenged to bring the 2013
Africa Cup of Nations trophy home as anything other than that will be
deemed a failure.
First Vice President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Chief Mike
Umeh, while commending the Stephen Keshi tutored lads for putting up a
brilliant show in their 1-0 win over Dutch club, FC Rotterdam on
Saturday, said, “the victory is a morale booster for the team. It shows
that the Eagles are consistent. Unlike their Zambian counterparts, the
Eagles are yet to lose a match in their friendlies, so far. I just pray
they can carry on to the Nations Cup.”
Commenting on the expectations of the football house from Coach
Stephen Keshi and his wards, Umeh said, “Preparations have been
excellent, they have been given a free hand and there has been no
interference from any quarters; we expect he (Keshi) delivers,” Umeh
said.
Continuing, the NFF chieftain added, “There is a common parlance that
says, ‘to whom much is given much is expected.’ My dream, and surely,
I’m speaking the minds of my colleagues on the board, is to see Keshi
and the Eagles bring home the trophy. It would not be enough to say I
want to see them in the semi final or final. There is no other way of
measuring had work than success. That means it’s the trophy or nothing.”
