Super Eagles
boss, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has made further clarifications over
reports in the media, quoting him as saying that West Brom striker,
Peter Osaze Odemwengie, has said he will not play again for the national
team.
Keshi said Monday at the Bolton White Apartment camp of the national
team, that his thoughts may have been misinterpreted, as the light
skinned striker merely told him, he was frustrated at the manner he had
been treated in the past and fears
a repeat, which he assured him will
not arise.
“What he told me was that after fighting so hard to qualify Nigeria
for the South Africa 2010 World Cup, he was dumped on the bench when the
tournament proper started and that he fears a repeat following the
manner he was substituted in the qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali,
which was under me.
Well, I told him that if I had my way all the players who featured in
that match should have been substituted but I had only three
substitutions to make because we played poorly in the encounter.
