After suffering a 1-2 defeat against Mali in the African Nations Championship, Nigeria’s coach Stephen Keshi acknowledged that his team did not play their game until the last 5-10 minutes, and he attributed the setback to the challenge of building the team in just three weeks. Keshi emphasized the goal of providing exposure and international experience to the players, hoping to identify talents who could potentially join the national team for the World Cup in Brazil. Nigeria’s next match in Group A is against Mozambique.
