Nigeria
coach Stephen Keshi says Monday’s friendly against Jordan was a good
test for his team as they prepare for next year’s Championship of
African Nations billed for South Africa. The Super Eagles lost 1-0.
Keshi maintains he is not worried that
they lost to Hossam Hassan’s men but insisted that his target is to
ensure Nigeria performs well at CHAN 2014.
“Friendly matches are not all about
winning. It’s about assessing the players on how they can perform and
also to examine how quick they can adapt to the tactics and system the
coach is playing. Besides, the game has nothing to do with our ranking
with FIFA,” he told Goal.
“It was a good experience for the boys
(not minding) the fact that we had just three days to train and 18
hours journey to contend with which I think is too much for the players
who are very young. The boys have learnt a few things from the
encounter which I think they will benefit from. ”
