WORLD CUP PREPARATION: KESHI TO INVITE OSAZE ODEWINGIE, IKECHUKWU UCHE, TAYE TAIWO

 The veteran coach of the super eagles of Nigeria has said that he is likely to invite the controversial trio: Osaze Odewingie, Taiye Taiwo and Ikechukwu Uche ahead of the 2014 World Cup scheduled to hold in Brazil.

Stephen Keshi has disclosed to supersport.com that he may give them the privilege to play for Nigeria in the forth coming FIFA World Cup.

He said; “Contrary to what some people think, I have not shut the door on players like Osaze (Peter Odemwingie), Ikechukwu Uche and even Taiye Taiwo. They are Nigerians and are eligible to play for the Super Eagles at all times,” Keshi said.

The big boss stated that the boys will be given a chance if they “prove themselves.”

He was also quoted as saying “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.

“Every day 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.
