{{Stephen Okechukwu Keshi who was early last year announced Super Eagles Coach by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been warned not to underrate Rwanda\u2019s Amavubi ahead of their first leg 2013 Nations Cup qualifier billed for Kigali on February 29.}}<\/p>\n
According to the news agencies in Nigeria, the Former Togo and Mali National Coach, was warned by Coach of Gateway FC of Abeokuta and ex- Super Eagles midfielder, Toyin Ayinla. <\/p>\n
\u201cKeshi shouldn\u2019t look at the Rwandese as a walkover. They might not be a name to reckon with but they possess the capacity to spoil his dreams if he doesn\u2019t take them serious,\u201d Ayinla pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no small team again in football. Nobody gave Equatorial Guinea a chance to qualify for the quarter finals of the on-going Nations Cup but they did it in grand style.\u201d<\/p>\n
This implies that Keshi needs to select a team of players that are playing regularly for their various clubs sides and also ready to commit their all for the nation and not those who want to use the national team to get a new club.<\/p>\n
\u201cNotwithstanding, I expect him to select one or two of the home-based players to play the game as it will help bring stability in the team. I would not want him to select much them because they are just getting their strides back as players in the league.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeshi is not mediocre in coaching. His experience with two African sides is no joke so I want to believe that he knows what he is doing. For me, what he needs now is our total support but with constructive criticism in other for him to see what he might not be able to see in the tick of the action,\u201d Ayinla said.<\/p>\n
On whether the Eagles will qualify for the next stage of the series, the former Abiola Babes star said, \u201cI am optimistic that we will qualify ahead of Rwanda if Keshi do the right thing,\u201d Ayinla added.<\/p>\n
