NFF QUERIES KESHI FOR TRYING A NEW TALENT
The NFF under under Amaju Pinnick has issued a query to the Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi for daring to believe in the abilities of an unknown talent, Striker Gabriel Okechukwu who plies his trade in a non-league Waters FC of Abuja.
According to a report in Vanguard Newspaper, the Football body is particularly irked that Keshi so honoured the upcomer that he handed him the revered No 10 jersey, coveted by top footballers across the world, because of the enviable history of those who had dorned the Jersey number.
The Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama is also said to be on the receiving end of Amaju Pinnick's hammer, as the Lille shot stopper was also queried for his guts to question the NFF's decision to host the Chad Vs Nigeria Afcon qualifying match in Kaduna.
********************************
While it is good to uphold discipline within a football team, I do see Pinnick's approach as uncalled for. one of the main jobs of a football coach is to discover and exploit talents, while it is not also out of place for Enyeama to ask questions about the venue of their match, especially when the venue is in a volatile region. Pinnick should understand that football administration is not civil service, where fresh ideas are aggressively suppressed, and everyone is expected to fall into a strange straight line.
Solomon Mourinho, should correct me if I am wrong.
