Speaking on the backdrop of the Eagles lackluster 0-0 draw with Iran, Amaju Pinnick said Keshi fell short technically.
"I like Keshi as a person but the Eagles run up to the World cup and
their first game has proven to me that Keshi has reached his limit"
"He is a national hero,I celebrate him for all he has achieved with the
team in such a short time but it appears he can't move the Eagles
forward unless he improve on his abilities"
Pinnick faulted Keshi's substitution and tactics in the draw against Iran.
"Can you imagine Nigeria playing high balls into the opponents half, a
style of play that is no longer in use in football,to make matter worst
he brought out the creative Victor Moses for a Shola Amoebi who is past
his prime"
Pinnick a TV guest in a morning show also took a swipe at Nigeria
referees saying they should cover their face in shame saying officials
from less fancy football Nations at the World cup while there was none
from Nigeria.
On the way forward,he advised the football house (NFF) to find a way of
grooming members of the victorious under-17 team of 2013 to be world
beaters in 2022 in Qatar.
"We have an Under-17 team that took the world by storm, complete as a
team from the goalkeeper to the last man in attack, it's about time we
focus on them not for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as it might come too
soon but for 2022"
"Their should be a programme aimed at safeguarding and aiding their
career growth, the NFF should monitor their career,discover some new
talents to make them better and we'll make a good impression in the
World cup in 2022"
