“We must be focused against Ethiopia” – Keshi

Coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, has warned his players not to be complacent, as they get ready to face Ethiopia in the World Cup 2014 play-offs.

A lot of observers are adamant that Nigeria got the easiest draw and expect the African champions to sail through easily, but Keshi has called for focus.

“I have a lot of respect for the Ethiopians and all the teams that made it to the last round of the qualifiers and I am certain that it will be tough, unpredictable and exciting for both the so called big teams and the minnows,” Keshi said.

“The last time we played the Ethiopians it was quite tough and I know when we meet next it’s going to be the same thing.

“All we need to do is to be focused, concentrate and pray for good health for our best players and the rest will be history,” he said.

The first leg will be played between October 11 -15.
