Managing director of Rainoil, a Lagos based oil servicing outfit,
Gabriel Ogbechie has tipped the Super Eagles to surprise the world at
the Brazil 2014 World Cup.Ogbechie who spoke in Lagos on Tuesday during the unveiling of a new sports monthly magazine, Sports Market International (SMI) told Daily Sunsports that Stephen Keshi would re enact the South Africa 2013 AFCON feat in Brazil by going all the way.
“Don’t forget that nobody gave the Eagles a chance during AFCON 2013, but Keshi’s boys, saw and conquered. He broke the nation’s 19-year jinx of not winning the cup. I see him doing the same in Brazil. We have never gone beyond the second round at the World Cup, I see Keshi breaking that jinx. We will over-run Iran with ease in our first game and Bosnia won’t be much of a problem. Whatever happens against Argentina, we will go through to the second round and from there, the sky could just be the limit for the team,” Ogbechie said.
The sports loving oil guru, however, appealed to the nation’s soccer governing body, NFF to give Keshi a free hand to pick his team, even as he urged the Eagles gaffer to go for the 23 best legs the country can boast of.
“I just hope the NFF will give Keshi a free hand to pick his team and on the part of the coach, I urge him to go to Brazil with our very best legs. Once this is done, I am sure we will have a glorious World Cup campaign.”
