KESHI IS GOING TO BE A LEGEND -GREEN

Chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation Technical Committee, Christopher Green has said that Stephen Keshi will become not only Nigeria's best coach but one of the best in Africa if he puts his head down.

"We have been more than supportive of the coach and he knows it, but mischief makers will always concoct stories for (to cause, ed) fights between both parties.

"But I will say Keshi is on the right path and if he continues to work with the NFF blueprint, we have a man who can become the best ever in Nigeria and Africa's history and an NFF board that will be unrivalled in years to come," Green, a lawyer, said.

The Eagles were hosted to a sumptous dinner by son of the soil and NFF Technical Director, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme, who apologised for the late hosting.

He noted that his wife had been out of the country for a long while, but he was delighted that when she returned and he suggested the idea to Mrs Ikpeme, she bought it.

Training for the team intensifies today ahead of Saturday's duel against the Flames of Malawi, whose FA Scribe is already in Calabar to assess the security and other concerns of the team ahead of the tie.
