The Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi urges his players to focus on team success first and not only on personal achievements.

The Big Boss made a remark ahead of the final group game to
be played today against Argentina in Porto Alegro, Vanguard
reports.
After the victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina Nigeria's chances to
qualify substantially increased, unless Keshi's men lose and Iran
beats Bosnia-Herzegovina with a wide margin.
As the coach, who led the country team to the win at 2013
AFCON, does not want it to happen, he instructed the
footballers to play one for another.
In the previous match before Emmanuel Emenike's pass, that
resulted in a brilliant goal by Osaze Odemwingie, Emenike had
done everything to score, even when another player was better
placed than him. The same was with Ogenyi Onaze a couple of
times.
Commenting on the tactics for the today's game, Keshi insisted:
"We have worked on that and I have told them not to be selfish.
Sometimes players show excessive hunger in the field. It is good
but team victory is absolutely important."
He had already mentioned it in a previous briefing in Brazil
laying an emphasis on the team work and team tactics in the
match against world class Argentina, and Barcelona FC star
Lionel Messi in particular.
