Siasia warns Keshi over Ethiopia’s threat


Samson Siasia has warned Stephen Keshi and his players, not to be complacent when they face Ethiopia in their upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying play-off.

Many observers have said it’s the easiest draw of the final round, but Siasia says the Walya Antelopes are not pushovers having come this far.

“Any team that have qualified for this stage are a threat,” Siasia told The Punch.

“We’ve played against Ethiopia before, when I was Super Eagles coach, and we had a difficult time against them in Addis Ababa, we shouldn’t underrate them this time around, we have to prepare well before meeting them next month.”

Siasia added that there are no underdogs in African football and urged the team to be well prepared for the two-legged encounter.

“There are no more easy teams in African football, if our players think Ethiopia are easy and they don’t do their job right, we might be surprised in the game,” he said.

“It depends on how you play the away games; the home games mostly are like walkovers, but you have to take both matches very seriously.”
