Okocha blames Keshi for Iran draw

Super Eagles Captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha has said Coach Stephen Keshi should be held responsible for the lame approach the team adopted in the goaless draw against Iran last night. Speaking as an analyst on Supersport after the match, Okocha said, “Keshi should be held responsible for the way the team played. Before the match he said African teams are tactically not disciplined and he did not bring anything new to the table.

That is the kind of thing we expected. Iran match would have been our strongest point but we missed it.” Meanwhile, Coach Stephen Keshi has said that the Super Eagles did their best to defeat Iran.
