Warri Wolves striker Sunday Mba says the Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi’s pep talk with the players before the kick-off the South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations motivated the team to go the extra mile for the trophy.
Many dismissed the Eagles as no-hopers after Keshi named a 23-man squad largely made up of domestic league and semi-professional players for the championship.
And Keshi admitted that he had taken a big risk with his decision to exclude the likes of West Brom’s Osaze Odemwingie, on-loan Dynamo Kyiv’s Taye Taiwo, Levante’s Obafemi Martins and Turkey-based Yussuf Ayila from the squad.
