World Cup: I Am Counting On Eagles To Do Well, Says Ezeji

Former Olympic Eagles striker, Victor Ezeji has given kudos to the Super Eagles for holding themselves high in Wednesday’s international friendly against Scotland which ended 2-2. He said the team had a good game given the fact that the line up was different from that which won the African Cup of Nations in South Africa last year. “I believe coach Keshi has an objective for deviating from the regular line up we are used to, meaning he has a vision for the team. And for the fact the boys gave a good account of themselves gives hope for the world cup in Brazil and I hope they can keep the momentum so they can meet the target set by Keshi and actualize our hopes and aspiration on this particular world cup.”
As Nigerians wait on Keshi to roll out the players finally for Brazil next week, Ezeji, who is a twice winner of the CAF Champions League 2003 and 2004 with Enyimba and also the FA Cup 2006 and 2007 with Dolphins, then posited that “with what I have seen of the team, any of those players in the 30 man provisional list whether home based or foreign is good enough to make the 23 man final list for the world cup proper. I trust that they will pull off a surprise and be able to go far in the competition.
