AFCON Final: Keshi To Wait Till Sunday For Decision On Emenike, Moses
Emmanuel Emenike
By SR Sports
Super Eagles boss, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, says he is hopeful the dynamic duo of Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses will play in Sunday’s AFCON final against Burkina Faso.
He made the decision following consultations with his medical team, Media Officer Ben Alaiya said.
Alaiya quoted the coach, who was speaking before the team’s final training session at Soccer City in Soweto, as saying he will wait till the last minute before deciding whether the boys will play or not, and that no other opinion is acceptable.
He however assured Nigerians not to panic over the two players, pointing out that in the case of their not being ready, he has capable replacements to fit into the shoes of both players.
“I can understand the apprehension of the public over the two players but we must be a little patient, because I know that the two of them want to play in the final and the medical team is working round the clock.”

After the match against CIV

After the match against CIV and Mali, I called a Yoruba friend to remind him what he had been saying - that Keshi's a tribalist because his team consists mainly of Igbo boys. He was so happy he kept saying forget that thing these boys dey play..haha.."We for use zoning select this team like foolish Nigerian politicians naa"..haha.. Anyway, I wanna congratulate fellow ex Finbarian Mr. Stephen Keshi(St Finbarrs College). I hope he wins this cup. I also hope E.Emenike and V.Moses recover from their injuries. I'd like to see them in the finals esp. bcos I want Emenike to get that Golden boot. The boy is like a hybrid whose genes are a mixture of D.Amokachi(the Bull) & R.Yekini(the Horse). Meanwhile, V.Moses and M. Obi are like more disciplined versions of JJ Okocha. lol. I do hope they bring that AFCON cup back to it's true home. And for the next 2 AFCONs. Good luck SE. Ngr - Burkinafaso (4-0). Someone tell FIFA to update their list and place Nigeria at 8th best. LOL
