Goalkeeper trainer of the Nigeria national team, Ike Shorunmu is still angry with the display of the African champions in their recent Fifa World Cup qualifying game against Kenya in Calabar on March 23.
.
The African champions laboured to a 1-1 draw against a compact Harambee Stars with substitute, Nnamdi Oduamadi netting the equaliser in the third minute of time added on.
.
Shorunmu, who won 36 caps for Nigeria between 1992 and 2002, has now laid into the Super Eagles' players questioning their attitude on the day against the East Africans.
.
"From the bench, we the coaches saw that the players took the match so lightly. They were not aggressive at all," a disappointed Shorunmu said.
.
The former FC Zurich goalkeeper then took the time to preview the return leg against the Kenyans in June.
.
"Now it is quite clear that Kenya has a very good team. We may be African champions but we must never think we have arrived. We have a lot of work to do (on the team) before the next game against Kenya in Nairobi," he said.
.
Nigeria currently top Group F of second round 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifying in the African zone with five points from three games.
.
The Super Eagles next face Kenya in Nairobi on Matchday 4 before travelling to Windhoek for a date with Namibia on Matchday 5.
.
The African champions then round off their qualification campaign with a home fixture against Malawi in September.
