Dr. Lekan Are, a sports lover who raised the Cocoa Research Institute Team in Ibadan, Oyo State, many years ago, spoke on the just concluded African Cup of Nations, NFF, Stephen Keshi’s efforts and other issues in an interview withAKINWALE ABOLUWADE
What are the lessons from the just concluded African Cup of Nations?
I think the first thing is that we should all congratulate the coach, Stephen Keshi. He knew what he was doing. People were trying to intervene but fortunately, people like Chief (Adegboye) Onigbinde and Segun Odegbami said that they should leave him alone. He knows the format he wants and what he wants to do. If you disrupt his plans, he might not be able to do exactly what he wanted.
