Title: Oliseh Warns Keshi, NFF
Post by: Folami David on Apr 17, 2013, 09:40 AM
Oliseh, has warned the Super Eagles not to let their hard work in South Africa go to waste when they face the Harambee Stars of Kenya and the Brave Warriors of Namibia in June 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
.
Oliseh also called on the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, to embark on a consolidation policy of the positives and intensify efforts and investments as the country strive to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil than contemplate on sacking his former teammate Stephen Keshi.
.
Two assistant coaches Hounadinou Valere and Sylvanus Okpala were sacked after helping the team to end their 19-year wait for an AFCON title- a move Oliseh believes was wrong.
.
"It's shocking to see that those who helped the team win the AFCON are shown the exit door," the former Juventus midfield maestro began in a chat.
.
"Our focus should be on the qualifiers in June and not trivial issues that can unsettle the team."
.
"Kenya came to Nigeria and almost walked away with the maximum points. Now we have a reason to believe in their chances of qualification, as slim as it might be, and that has now seemingly complicated our chances of World Cup in 2014."
.
"Our players have to play - that's what they are there for. We'll have a look at it and see what we plan to do in terms of selection.
.
We have seen both sides play and can go back to the ties where we fell short so we know what it's like and how difficult it can be."
.
"It has not always been the easiest thing in the past we must not drop points against Kenya and Namibia in June. They have a little bit of an advantage because they are playing at home but I would hope that our experience and the players we have got can overcome it, albeit it's never going to be easy," he concluded.

Oliseh should withdraw himself from the affairs of the Super Eagles a little bit before Nigerians put eyes in his body.

I totally agree with Sunday Oliseh with this one. They need to work harder in the return legs. They must win
