Arsene Wenger has criticized Keshi by saying Super Eagles lacked tactical organisation.
The Super Eagles were beaten by France in the world cup because of their poor organisation to stop Nigeria progressing beyond the round of 16 at the 2014 Fifa World Cup
finals in Brazil.
This is the verdict of the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger who has been carrying out a post-mortem of the African champions’ showing in Brazil.
Wenger said the Super Eagles could have progressed farther than they did in the competition in Brazil if conditions were ideal.
“Nigeria had no solidarity. They showed the whole world the problems they had before the World Cup and it was the same with Cameroon.
“The problem was not lack of talent but with poor tactical organization,” Wenger said..Coach Stephen Keshi is in charge of the team so if they had poor tactical organisation,it is down to the coach isn't it?I expect Keshi to have a reply for Arsene Wenger ASAP.Wenger is ready to take pops at other managers but can't handle it when the shoe is on the other foot.That was why Mourinho called him a specialist in failure. You have to show some respect for your fellow coaches and leave certain statements to football pundits.How would Wenger feel if Keshi or another coach comes out and says Arsenal lack tactical organisation?
Stephen Keshi.Wenger is not a fan of his tactics. |
Funny thing is i agree with what Wenger said,with better tactical organisation,we would not have lost to France,but it is not in Wenger's place to take a pop at another coach.
Wenger however identified positives in the play of the Eagles in Brazil and praised the team’s first half display against eventual conquerors, France.
“Nigeria was not too bad against France. They had a good first half but could not maintain the momentum in the second half,” he said.
Arsene Wenger has clearly demonstrated that he is not a fan of Keshi's tactical organisation.
Nigeria have never progressed beyond the round of 16 at the World Cup.
