Former Super Eagles coach Christian Chukwu has called on Stephen Keshi to ensure proper discipline in his squad if they are to do well at do well at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Chukwu amongst other things advocated for a watchful eyes on the players,adding that they should keep away from having sex during the World Cup tournament.
“As a major stakeholder in the game, every Nigerian expects nothing less than the best preparation ever. The World Cup is not for rookies or disco dancers, it is for senior boys that are ready to stake their careers for the passion and love they have for the round leather game and at the same time make money and name for themselves," Chukwu was quoted as saying on Vanguard Sports.
"Is like a war front, when you are preparing for a war against an opponent, you have to make sure that everything that you have to win the war is in proper shape so that you will not give your enemies the chance to over power your squad. So for our country to excel at the World Cup, we must put in everything, our build-up for the championship must be of a high standard."
"Yes, we have world class players that can match the likes of Messi, Gerrard, Ronaldo, Juan Mata among others, but they must be ready to put their pride aside, obey their managers, play as one united side, avoid selfish game, and above all be totally disciplined. Because without discipline, there is no two ways to victory. They must as a matter of fact prove to the world that they are true African champions. Their qualifications was not a fluke, they must know that they are wearing the colours of the country, and must do something to make the country that has made them proud, because without the country called Nigeria, they would not be where they are today."
"Another sure way to achieve success in the 2014 World Cup competition is for the entire technical crew to have an eye on the players, there are certain things the players must keep away from like sex,we did it during our own time. In my days as a player even as a coach, I made it a point of duty to stay away from women, because sex has a lot of spiritual things attached to it. So if Stephen Keshi and his crew can keep close eyes on these players by making sure that they keep away from sex totally, they will do very well," he added.
Nigeria have begun preparations for the World Cup,already confirming a friendly game with Mexico.
The Super Eagles are in group F and would come up against: Argentina,Bosnia and Iran
