Keshi: Attitude critical selection criterion

Stephen Keshi has pointed attitude as one of the key criteria that will determine who makes his final 23-man squad.

"The character of the players, the ability to get along with other players and, of course, their ability to play the game too," Keshi tells KickOff...
"Because in a tournament where you are going away for six weeks, you need that oneness, that togetherness, mutual respect for one another, that
team spirit that will carry us to the final stages."


He also points to the ability to fit into different positions as critical.
"Yeah, because you never know what is going to happen during the game. You might want a player to fit into a different position.
"And that is what is good in this team because we have multiple players that can play in different positions and they will play it well."

Despite saying earlier that he has an idea of the final 23, Keshi admits that it will still be a difficult choice to make.
"It will be difficult because all these boys are good and it will be a tough choice to make. So far, these kids out here have given us everything, so to let go now is a problem. But we have to do what we have to do."

Keshi is expected to name his final squad by tomorrow(Monday).
