It was an irony of some sought for the Super Eagles who are billed to play a team that goes by the&nbsp; nick-name, Flames today&nbsp; as they were literally made to train without any illuminations last night. The Super Eagles got a dose of what to expect from the crowd in Blantyre when some irate fans&nbsp; almost disrupted their late training session following&nbsp; their&nbsp; delayed arrival.<br /><br />Coach Stephen Keshi had insisted on arrival that his players&nbsp; should&nbsp; have a feel of the Kamuzu Banda&nbsp; Stadium,&nbsp; even though&nbsp; the 2:30pm&nbsp; time&nbsp; allotted to them&nbsp; had lapsed. He led the team to the arena at about 5pm Malawi time and 4pm Nigerian time, by which time it was already dark in Blantyre.<br /><br />The coach and his players however braved the odds and trained&nbsp; in near darkness as the stadium officials refused&nbsp; to switch on the floodlights in the arena. But as if that was not enough, some tough looking fans stormed the pitch and made&nbsp; attempts to harass Nigerian players. However, they were restrained by team&rsquo;s CSO, ACP Gideon Akinsola, Camp Commandant, Lt. Col Rabiu Yandoto and Psychologist Dr. Robinson Okosun, who&nbsp; assumed the duty of&nbsp; security detail for the period&nbsp; the face off lasted.<br /><br />Following the stiff resistance from the Nigerians, a policeman sauntered into the pitch to&nbsp; inquire what the problem was, but the fans were not pacified as&nbsp; they&nbsp; maintained that since&nbsp; it was their country and&nbsp; their stadium nobody could&nbsp; prevent them from gaining access. They were however prevailed upon to allow&nbsp; the Nigerians train, but they laid siege for the team with one of them&nbsp; threatening to deal with&nbsp; the Nigerians after training.<br /><br />Frustrated with their antics after&nbsp; 30 minutes, Keshi called off the training&nbsp; session since it had become unbearably dark.<br /><br />Despite yielding to their intimidation, the fans still laid siege and it took about 10 minutes for a combined team of policemen and some Nigerians resident in Blantyre to&nbsp; prevail on them to allow the Super Eagles out of the stadium.<br /><br />Speaking&nbsp; at their Sunbird Hotel abode,&nbsp; a flustered Keshi said he expected such mind games and urged the players to be prepared for more of such antics from the fans. &ldquo;We will do our best to make Nigerians happy at the end of the day&rdquo;, he said.<br /><br /><b>(Source: Soccer Star</b>)<br />
