Nigeria's coach Stephen Keshi has declared that the Super
Eagles are good enough to win the World Cup in Brazil this summer.
Keshi made this assertion while reacting to a question on
whether he thinks his team can live up to the ambitions of the Minister of
Sports Tamuno Danagogo, who recently said that Nigeria can win the trophy.
"We can win the World Cup. Those who win the World
Cup do not have two heads," Keshi said on Monday after collecting his
award as the best Nigerian coach presented to him by Chief Executive Officer of
Matchmakers Consult, Shina Philips at the Ibis Hotel.
"If the Minister said so, I pray to God that it is
so. All we need to do to win is to concentrate, be free from injuries and take
the matches as they come."
Keshi ceased the occasion to urge Nigerians to support
his team, adding that the success recorded by the 'Class of '94' was largely as
a result of the popular support the team enjoyed from Nigerians.
On the Matchmakers Award, Keshi thanked the organizers as
well as the media and Nigerians in general for their continued support, adding
that his goal is to bring joy to Nigerians through football.
