The Super Eagles Head Coach Stephen Keshi has said that the
refurbished pitch of the National Stadium in Abuja was not good for football.
Keshi said this on Tuesday evening when he spoke to newsmen
after 18 Super Eagles players had their first training session on the
refurbished pitch ahead of the crucial World Cup final round qualifier against
Ethiopia.
He expressed displeasure with the state of the pitch, saying
that it would be dangerous for the Eagles to play on it.
“From what I saw, it is a sandy pitch and it is hard; it will be
very difficult for the players to play on it, especially the goalkeepers
because it is sharp sand.
“If it rains, I think, the pitch will be water-logged,’’ Keshi
said.
Criticism has trailed the renovation of the pitch since
September 17 when the contractor, Julius Berger, handed over the stadium to the
government.
Thank God for Calarba.
