Contrary to the views of
many people that Nigeria have been drawn in an easy group at the 2014 World
Cup, Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi thinks otherwise.
The Super Eagles are in
group F where they would come up against Argentina, Bosnia Herzegovina and
Iran.
Keshi speaking after the
draws were made in Brazil, hinged on the importance to win their first game of
the tournament against Iran.
"We have to prepare for the first game to make sure we win,"
Keshi said.
But the Super Eagles gaffer
refuted suggestions that Nigeria have been drawn in an easy group.
"I'm not sure it's an easy group. It all depends on how well you prepare
and plan for the games" he added.
"Nigerians should stand by us, believe in the team, and give their full
support.”
"Right
now, I'm majorly concerned about the CHAN. We have three weeks to prepare for
the competition," he added.
Meanwhile Bosnian midfielder
Miralem Pjanic has tipped Nigeria to battle for the second spot in group F with
them, and the Argentina would top the group.
"Reasonably happy with
the draw, Argentina are favorites. I think we'll compete with Nigeria for
second place. We hope to do it," the Roma FC player said.
