Obiefule backs KESHI, MIKEL for glory

Nigeria midfielder Paul Obiefule. has backs Super Eagles coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi and his assistants to make history in 2013 nations Cup to be hosted in South Africa.

Keshi who lifted the 1994 nations cup trophy in Tunisia as the skipper of the World beater Eagles then, will be looking forward to win the trophy again as the coach of the Super Eagles.

And Paul who was part of the Super Eagles team that won bronze medal in Ghana 2006 has told Keshi to make the be selections and go all the way to win the South Africa 2013 nations cup.

"The man has deliver what many Nigerians are clamouring for, the nations cup ticket," said Obiefule.

"To be a national team coach is not a day's job and I think Keshi has the experience to lead the tam to victorious tournament if all hands are on deck."

"I think he can make history in South Africa if we all support him." Without unity and individual dedication, there won't be results but with what the players have shown against Liberia. It means they are one of the tournament favourite."

"For the fact that he has coached Togo and Mali and he did fairly well with Mali and took Togo to the World Cup, though that should not be the yardstick in South Africa but a committed team and good tactical approach."

The 26-year-old midfielder also advise the former Mali coach to drill Chelase ace Mikel Obi as the team midfield enforcer.

"Mikel is a world class player, he has silence his critics. We need him a lot in South Africa and it will be good for the coach to support to drill him to give his best."

"We must understand that Mikel plays different roles in Nigeria which is quite different from what he use to play in Chelsea, we must show him love, he has make Nigeria proud and that is the reason why we must celebrate him."

"If the likes of Yaya Toure, Song and Kita can be celebrated in their country, why can't we celebrate our own too?" He questioned.

Obiefule who plays for Kups of Finland has enjoys consistent playing time with 28 appearances but yet to reveals his next move if the deal expires next month.

"For now, I need to rest after our remaining games. Kups want me to extend my stay but I am not ready to disclose anything for now. I just need to go on break and have a good rest before I look on the table."
