Despite Keshi’s presence with the Under-23 team in Morocco, they failed to rise up to the expectations of Nigerians who expected the team to pick an Olympic ticket to as compensation for the run of poor results that saw the Eagles crash out of the 2012 Nations Cup and the Falcons miss the Olympics for the first time since 2000 when they made their debut appearance.
However, he noted that the players gave all their best, adding that Nigerians should expect a better outing next year.
“This is generally a bad year for football for Nigeria, it is not that the boys are bad players, but let us look forward to next year with hope and high expectation. I believe things will be better next year for all of us.” Keshi said.

Continuing, Keshi justified his romance with the U-23 team and said he had no regret joining them. “Firstly, I do not regret joining the team in Morocco, and I am not happy that the team could not secure qualification after all the support they had. I’m really pained but I still believe that there is a future for the team.”
