“We were criticized unnecessarily” – Keshi furious with former Nigeria internationals

Stephen Keshi has blasted former Nigerian players, who were quick to criticize his team after they drew 0-0 with Iran in their first World Cup game in Brazil.
The Super Eagles bounced back with a 1-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday night, which put them in pole position to qualify. But Keshi had harsh words for some ex-internationals, who he feels should understand the game better as they played at the highest level before.
“The annoying thing is that they get criticised unnecessarily back home,” Keshi said at a press conference after the win over Bosnia.
“When that comes from the man on the street you can understand but when people who should know like ex-footballers criticise the team, I don’t enjoy it at all.
“But the players have showed that they are good enough for the World Cup but they are yet to play to full potential.”
