World Cup: Baywood believes in Eagles

As Nigerians come to terms with the bronze medal
outing of the Super Eagles at the just concluded
African Nations Championship, CHAN, in South
Africa, a sports enthusiast and President of BCL,
Chris Baywood has predicted a good run for the
Eagles in the World Cup in Brazil.
Baywood’s optimism stems from his belief on
coach Stephen Keshi whom he said has brought
back the right rhythms for Nigerian football.
“It’s amazing when you think of the massive results
that Keshi has achieved since being appointed chief
coach of the national team. He has not only done
absolutely well in terms of results, he has also
changed and brought competition to the Eagles
which hitherto was a team reserved for some
foreign-based teams.
Today, there is competition in the team and the
home-based players have also justified their
inclusion in the team. We were thrilled with the
performance of the Eagles in CHAN and the
emergence of Ejike Uzoenyi as the Most Valuable
Player, MVP, of the championship. It speaks
volumes of the talents that are in the country that
many have not bothered to discover’’, he said.
The Oil and Gas magnate also believed that Brazil
would be a veritable ground for the Eagles. “Brazil
will be a good hunting ground for the team. We
should all support the team and pray for them”, the
Philanthropist added.
