Nigeria has achieved the feat of qualifying for the finals of the Afcon overwriting the great team of Mali. Its coach Stephen Keshi enjoys this victory, he who had been criticized by some of his tactical choices. And we also note the little phrase on the white coaches … If Ghana qualifies, the final will be played by African coaches…

– “There were a lot of problems and criticism in Nigeria because I decided to do without some great players. But I’ve always believed in this team, I wanted it to have a great mentality and the players are really working for the team. There is a lot of talent in this group, but it takes time to build a team.

– “I dedicate this success to God and Nigerians who expected that long. I wanted to bring smiles to Nigerians. The 1994 team took 5 years to build while the current team has only 5 weeks. We are growing and I’m trying to build something. The 1994 team was great, his state of mind was amazing and we were like brothers. This has talent but it takes a great mind and a great character and that’s what we’re trying to provide.

– “I’m not against white coaches. White coaches are great but it does not require a mediocre coach, someone who cannot help Africans. That’s all I said. I never said I was against white coaches. But I can never train in Europe because they think I’m not qualified enough to do so. “
