With
the disclosed intention of Eagles’ head coach, Stephen Keshi, Super Eagles players like
controversial Osaze Odemwingie, Taye Taiwo and Ikechukwu Uche may have another
chance to play for the national team ahead of the 2014 World Cup scheduled for
Brazil.
This
follows the Big Boss disclosure to supersport.com that he may extend invitation
to the trio to the national team ahead of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
The
“Big Boss” as Keshi is fondly called has now revealed that he has not shut the
door completely on any individual as he begins preparations for the World Cup.
“Contrary
to what some people think, I have not shut the door on players like Osaze
(Peter Odemwingie), Ike Uche and even Taiye Taiwo. They are Nigerians and are
eligible to play for the Super Eagles at all times,” Keshi said.
The
gaffer however stated that they will only get a look in if they “prove
themselves.”
“When
I was in the national team, nobody had an automatic shirt. I was the captain
but I did not play in all the games.
“Everyday
in training, it was war. We fought and sweated to show the coaches that we were
worthy of the shirt. That is the norm now as well,” he said.
