SUPER Eagles coach Stephen Keshi admits he has much work to do if the team is to regain its lost glory just as he ruled out complete overhaul of the team.He specifically identified the midfield as the main area in which he has to concentrate on as he settles down to rebuild the team.Speaking after the Eagles overcame the Chipolopolo of Zambia with a 2-0 win in an international friendly played at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, the former Togolese national team coach though expressed satisfaction with the victory, owned up that the team did not play well.Keshi was particularly unhappy with the performance of the team at the middle of the pitch which was completely dominated by the Zambians, pointing out a dearth of midfielders in the Super Eagles following their performance against Zambia."I had like 10 strikers today and I was looking for midfielders to play but I couldn't find them. "I can't put a striker on as a midfielder. I need to have the numbers of players in every department that will allow me change players if one is not doing well."Today (Tuesday) I could not do it, I was trying to juggle with it I won't overhaul the team, but I will make sure that for every 18 or 25 we get to camp, there are twins in every position," he said.Having seen the team in two different matches, the ex- Super Eagles captain promised to bring the necessary changes that would soon turn the Nigerian side into the team to beat."It was a good result, but that does not really matters, what is important is getting to see the players, knowing their abilities and discovering the loopholes in the team and all these I have seen.Meanwhile, Keshi was quoted as saying that he will now take complete control over the invitation of players to the national team.''I am fully in charge now, so I will draw up the list of players to make up the team for any other game that will be played by the national team,' 'Keshi told SuperSport.com.''That's way too much but I have worked with it and things will be different from now. I will be drawing up the names of players that I need from now on,' Keshi said.
