Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has criticised his players
for being "nervous and unsettled" in their FIFA World Cup opener
against Iran.
The Africa Cup of Nations champions failed to make their
possession count as they came up against a disciplined Iranian defence, with
the match ending goalless.
And Keshi believes his players were not in the right
frame of mind as their hopes of reaching the second round were dealt a
significant blow.
"The boys were too nervous and unsettled," he
told Optima Live. "You don't do that at this stage.
"It happens in football. We really didn't perform as
expected but we have to move on.
"I wanted a win but must take a draw. We must do
better to get a win against Bosnia."
Nigeria face Bosnia and Herzegovina in their next Group F
fixture on Saturday.
