Keshi defends home-based players

http://www.kickoffnigeria.com/chops/images/resized/main/e72324b0f0dc3c8fe674c8ae48581420.jpgNigeria coach Stephen Keshi has defended his continued invitation of home-based players to the national team, insisting that they will be given a chance to fight for their place in the 2014 World Cup squad.
Keshi noted that having worked with the home-based players, he believes that just like their........
Euro-based counterparts they are capable of exhibiting a very high standard of football if well motivated and instilled with confidence.

"I have worked with them. They know what I want; I know the standard I want them to be at before they can play. I have studied the players and managed to instil confidence in them. Once achieving those goals, they are ready to go, just like the professional players in Europe," Keshi told Fifa's official website.

While recounting on his experience with the home-based contingent of the Super Eagles at the just concluded African Nations Championship (Chan) in South Africa, were they finished in third-place on their debut appearance in the competition. The former coach of Togo and Mali hinted that some of the players will be given a chance to fight for their place in Nigeria's World Cup squad.
he said...........
"It was good to spend five weeks together. These players are doing well and that is the bottom line. They will have a chance to be called up for the World Cup, though it is too early to name any names. That will happen closer to the time," he said.
