Keshi, Enyeama Blast Egyptian Ref

Just as Nigerians were left fuming following the controversial spot kick by Egyptian referee, Grisha Ghead, awarded in favour of the Chipolopolo of Zambia which condemned the Super Eagles to their second consecutive draw at the AFCON, head coach, Stephen Keshi and goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama Friday, also slammed the centre official.

STEPHEN KESHI

Enyeama was more vitriolic in his attack describing the referee’s decision the most bizarre he has experienced in his football career.

“That penalty call is the worst I have seen in my whole football career. You don’t make such calls in a match of that magnitude, the call was weak and I’m mad about it. They (referees) did it to us against Burkina Faso also,” he sressed.

Reacting too, Keshi was more diplomatic as he preferred to leave people to judge the referee because “ I don’t like talking about referees. In the match against Burkina Faso, the referee gave us five yellow cards and a red car. The referee is the boss and he is in control of the game,” keshi said in a post match conference.

  1. Keshi Nigeria coach is a big blow to our nigeria team,he is incompetence to coach Nigeria team I will implore to leave from south Africaa.What we need is a foreign coach,Keshi left Nigeria lately for Uk wt our money bt unfortunately for him he came without anything to count on.

  2. keshi is doing his best at the moment bt he needs to be more technically sound,he needs to add more creativity to the midfield cos we need flare,creativity,drive and sharpness up front. Futher more, the style of play is too slow it gives our opponents oppotunity to settle easily………..the super eagles needs to play more direct with pace. Attacking football should be introduced with eye on goal….ALEX PAN([email protected])

  3. had it mean the ref refuse to blow the penalty against ZAMBIA and NIGERIA top the group we might not be able to win the trophy but i think we go tru the right path to the final for finish second in the group,cos if we finish first we might loose in the final as BURKINA FASO that finish first loose in the final cos their is probability to play IVORY COAST in the final and it will be a tougher game to the QF…. let us just thank GOD for the SUCCESS and stop blasting the ref., from EGYPT.
