Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, says the incessant unrest in
Nigeria is affecting the morale and focus of his players ahead of the
World Cup.Speaking in an interview with ESPN, Africa’s best coach revealed that some the of the players and members of his technical team have friends and family in the affected areas, and are continuously worrying about their safety. “Directly it is not affecting us, but it is threatening us indirectly because some of us have family members around there” he said.
He however added that the Super Eagles have a task ahead and a duty to Nigeria and all Africa and thus the team is doing everything to put the crisis behind them and focus on the World Cup. “We have a duty to our country, and we will not allow the security situation to affect our preparation” he said.
