The sterling performances of Ikechukwu
Uche for his La Liga outfit Villarreal may not be enough
to earn him a recall to the national team as Coach Stephen Keshi made a shocking revelation on Wednesday that the striker wants to be begged to play
for the Eagles.

Speaking with journalists in Calabar, the Big Boss stated that IK Uche who was snubbed for the World Cup in Brazil was originally considered for this
month’s Africa Nations Cup of Nations qualifying matches but rather than show interest at playing for Nigeria, the Spain based striker was seeking to
receive apologies for previous exclusions from the National team.

“He was supposed to be part of the team that is presently in camp but he said we must beg him first to play for Nigeria because he was left out of
some competitions but I can’t beg anyone to play for Nigeria, impossible. That’s why he is not here.” Keshi
declared.

It is not clear if IK Uche would be reconsidered for future engagements have singlehandedly blown away the fresh chance offered him to return to
the national team fold.

Lol Keshi i dey feel you. That's why you are called the big boss. What a befitting name

Oh!

shmmmmmmm

if you think you dont need him before the world cup
why will you want him now.......

i wud hav believed keshi if uche was being invited for d 1st time in super eagle or if he is just coming to d team. he just said dt as an excuse because he knows pple will ask him d reason for snubbing d guy again.
