Coach Maxwell Konadu of the Ghana Black Stars on Tuesday
said that the respect he had for the Super Eagles Coach,
Stephen Keshi, would not distract his team from their
objective.
Konadu said at a pre-match media briefing at the
Bloemfontein Stadium, South Africa, that he would not allow
Keshi’s intimidating pedigree to stop him and his team on
Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the two West
African neighbours and football rivals, would trade tackles in
one the semi-final matches of the ongoing African Nations
Championship (CHAN).
“I quite agree that Keshi is currently the best
coach in Africa; but I will want to add that
football does not always follow logic.
“Sometimes the best coach loses, and we cannot
rule that out in tomorrow’s match.
“Some of the best coaches who came to this
tournament have been sent packing with their
teams, because they crashed out earlier than
expected.
“I respect Keshi and all he has been doing for
Nigerian football in recent times.
“But talking about tomorrow’s match, you can
be a good coach and on a day your players are
not playing well, there is nothing you can do,’’
he said.
The match between the Super Eagles and the Black Stars
would kickoff at 7.30 p.m. Nigerian time, at the Bloemfontein
Stadium, in the Free State Province. (NAN)
