FIFA World Cup That Is The Real Deal- Keshi.


Stephen Keshi has finally spoken out on Super Eagles’ scale of preference ahead of the hectic June schedule. The Super Eagles has been in camp in Nuremberg, Germany preparing for their upcoming fixtures, which includes: May 31 friendly against the Tricolores of Mexico, two World Cup qualifiers against Kenya and Namibia and the Confederation Cup in Brazil all in the month of June.
The Super Eagles will be representing Africa at the Confederation Cup, a fore runner for the World Cup in Brazil; a prestigious tournament, but a friendly affair in all its ramifications.
In 2009, Egypt represented Africa at the FIFA Confederation Cup, South Africa 2009. The then African Champions put in so much energy into the whole Confederation Cup affair, even causing upset when they defeated Italy 3-0, only to lose out to Algeria in a bad- tempered qualification play- off that was hosted in a neutral ground, Khartoum, Sudan.
Keshi’s sounded too familiar with the 2009 incident when he responded to questions asking him to choose between the FIFA Confederation Cup and Qualifying for the World Cup 2014 with the Super Eagles.
“I will choose qualifying for the World Cup each time. Yes, the FIFA Confederations Cup is also good but nothing beats or compares to FIFA World Cup that is the real deal. That is where I aim to be and where I want my players to be playing,” Keshi without any hesitation answered supersport.com.
“Make no mistake we will give the tournament our best shot but it is really to come back next year as one of Africa’s representatives at the World Cup that we are working towards,” added Keshi.
