It’s commendable to hear that Stephen Keshi, the coach of the Nigerian national football team, is supportive and fair-minded in his response to the situation involving Jonathan Pitroipa. Despite recognizing Pitroipa’s ability to make a difference on the field, Keshi expressed happiness at the decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to cancel the unjustified red card that the Burkina Faso striker received from the referee.
Keshi’s appreciation for CAF’s decision reflects a commitment to fairness in the sport, emphasizing the importance of correct officiating for the benefit of football and its spectators. Additionally, Keshi noted that the decision doesn’t alter Nigeria’s tactical preparation for the upcoming CAN final against Burkina Faso.
