Stephen Keshi has declared that he has no plans of carrying out a total overhauling on the playing personnel of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Nigerian head coach said after his side’s 2-0 win over the Copper Bullets of Zambia that he would only strengthen the team where there is need for such.
“I did not say I would overhaul the team. But where changes are needed, we will make them,”; said the 49-year-old coach.
Keshi particularly referred to Tuesday’s friendly in which the Zambians were the more impressive side.
He pointed out a dearth of midfielders in the Super Eagles following their performance against Zambia.
“I had like 10 strikers today and I was looking for midfielders to play but I couldn’t find them.
“I can’t put a striker on as a midfielder. I need to have the numbers of players in every department that will allow me change players if one is not doping well.
“Today (Tuesday) I could not do it. I was trying to juggle with it I won’t overhaul the team, but I will make sure that for every 18 or 25 we get to camp, there are twins in every position,”; he said.
Keshi got his first win since resuming as Super Eagles’ head coach when his side beat Zambia two-nil in Kaduna.
