Super Eagles coaches pass vote of confidence on Agbim

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has defended goalkeeper Chigozie Agbim, who has come under fire following a 2-1 loss to Mali at CHAN. 


Agbim was blamed for the two goals scored by Mali even though he later made several saves to deny the fellow West Africans more goals. 

Keshi picked Agbim and defenders Azubuike Egwuekwe and Kunle Odunlami as the only players who did well against Mali at the weekend. 

Goalkeeper trainer Ike Shorunmu has also passed a vote of confidence on the Enugu Rangers shot stopper. 

“He made several saves if not, we would have conceded five, six goals in that game,” Shorunmo defended. 

“If you look at the team as a whole, he played well and should not be blamed.”
