African No. 1 Coach, Coach Okechukwu Stephen Keshi of Nigeria is set to create another Africa record with the Nigeria home based Eagles. Keshi become the best African coach courtesy of his victory of lifting the Africa cup with a relatively not prepared lads. The victory becomes so sweet and important to Keshi because of the way it happened. Keshi and his lads did not have preparation enough like other African countries that qualified to play the competitions, yet from low scoring ability, the team raised to lift the trophy which many Nigerians did not even gave Keshi and the Eagles a chance not to talk of lifting the trophy. Like repeating the same history, Keshi came to manage the homes based Eagles with no much time at his disposal as always being with Keshi, he is a slow starter or bad starter but raise to the occasion when he has been written off. The homes based Eagles in all their build up friendly matches, never encouraged Nigerians soccer pundits, even Keshi himself, but being a believer of God, Keshi keeps encouraging the boys and Nigerians that God willing his boys will not disappoint the country, according to Keshi, the boys will get better each match. True to his words, the match between Morocco and Nigeria brought out the true Nigerian spirit of Keshi’s home based Eagles as they proved that they are not being tutored by the No. 1 coach of Africa for nothing. Three goals down from 37 minutes in the first half all hope would have been lost for the Nigerian side. The first half was give to the Moroccans for Keshi and his lads to proved to Africa and the rest of the world that Keshi is indeed a lucky coach in Africa as the boys complement Keshi pep talk with action to out played the Moroccans and won that match many factors would have worked against the Nigerian side, if divine providences did not work for Keshi. Goalkeeper Agbim was a big problem to himself as he kept out of position almost all the time. Secondly, he could not organized his defence line up hence always exposing his defence to the Moroccans attackers. The Moroccans by far are more tactical and fast on the ball. They have a perfect understanding amongst themselves. Their passes were accurate and pinpointed not like that of the Nigerian lads. Ejike should be commended for inspiring the Eagles attack to victory. Indeed Ejike is a world cup material. ##
