Eagles’ midfielder Dickson Paul Etuhu has backed Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi to restore the country’s football. The Fulham star, who is one of only 11 Europe-based stars called up for a 2013 Nations Cup qualifier in Rwanda, has also said he will fight for his first-team place at his London club. On Keshi he said: The first day I met him, I knew why he was the captain of the team for 14 years. He is a man who knows what he is doing and will look you straight in your eyes to tell you what he wants from you and otherwise.
If you do it well, he applauds you and if you did not, he shouts at you till you adjust. He is just like the big coaches I have worked with in England. I see him succeeding.
