To say that Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi (see photo) has heart is to state the obvious. He is showing it once more by marshalling out mainly home-based players in his starting eleven in tonight’s international friendly against Catalonia of Spain.
This is despite the fact that the Catalonians are fielding a team dominated by Barcelona stars (10) and seven from Espayol, on whose ground the match starting between 7pm and 8pm Nigerian time would be played.
