Former Assistant Coach of the Super Eagles, Bitrus Bewarang has advised Eagles’ Head Coach Stephen Keshi to ignore all the utterances of Malawi Coach Tom Saintfiet which he said are aimed at destabilizing the Super Eagles who will be resuming camp on September 2, for the 2014 world cup qualifier against Malawi in Calabar.
Keshi and Saintfiet have been on each other’s throat after the Malawi FA said Calabar was secured for the match and also the Malawi coach reporting Keshi to FIFA for what he claimed to be a racist comment against him.
Bewarang who spoke to Prompt News Online said he was happy that the Eagles versus Malawi match will take place eventually next week as he wants the match to be done with to finally silence Saintfeit and the Malawians.
“I am happy this match will take place soon but what I am not happy about is Coach Keshi trying to fall in into mind twisting tactics the Coach of Malawi is trying to put him (Keshi) through”
“I believe that we have quality players that can put us through. Let Keshi just try and concentrate fully on the September 7th match in Calabar and map out strategies to win the game”
“Let him not get angry because when he gets angry that can destabilize him and make him lose
focus as regards the pattern of play or the kind of tactics he wants to employ in the game. It is important for the team and the technical crew to fully concentrate on the task ahead”, Bewarang said.
