A board member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has pleaded with fans not to judge the national team based on the results of their friendly matches.
The Super Eagles have failed to win any of their pre-World Cup friendlies, drawing 2-2 with Scotland and 0-0 with Greece, before they were beaten 2-1 by the USA.
Amadu re-emphasized his confidence in Stephen Keshi’s team and asked Nigerians to keep supporting the Eagles as the World Cup begins this week.
“We believe coach Stephen Keshi has selected the best for Nigeria and also for the continent. I have no doubt in my mind that Nigeria will do well at the 2014 World Cup,” the former Kaduna State Commissioner for Sports told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
“Keshi has only lost one match out of the friendly matches the team played in preparation for the World Cup, yet people are still criticising him.
“You can’t judge the team by the friendlies, but by how many friendly matches they have won, drawn or lost. So, if you go by that statistics, we are in a better place to say that we have a team that is going to do well in Brazil.”
