A FIFA licensed stadium facility expert, Ebi Egbe has faulted Stephen Keshi’s decision to use his army of Euro-based professionals to prosecute last weekend’s game against Sudan in Khartoum.
Egbe said the Eagles would have gotten a result both in Calabar in the game against Congo and the Khartoum outing if Keshi had fallen back on the home-based players who are used to the poor pitches in Calabar and Khartoum.
In Egbe’s words: “I think the pitch in Calabar and that of Sudan contributed a lot to our poor run.
You can clearly see that the Eagles were a lot better in Cape Town against South Africa because the pitch there was good.
Our boys play on good turfs out there in Europe, so coming home to play in that kind of rugged Khartoum pitch wont be an easy task.
I think what Keshi should have done was to use some home- based players who are used to that kind of terrain.”
The London based soccer buff expressed confidence that Keshi and his boys will bounce back to pick a Nations Cup ticket, insisting that it is not all over yet for the Eagles.
Do you agree with Ebi Egbe?
