Emenike Threatens To Quit Super Eagles by Hardeydamola(m): 7:19am On Oct 03, 2014
Fenerbahce star, Emmanuel Emenike has told
AfricanFootball he is prepared to stay out of
the Super Eagles if coach Stephen Keshi
believed he is the problem of the team.
Keshi has been quoted as saying he is unhappy
with the AFCON 2013 top scorer, who he
sensationally benched in last month’s AFCON
qualifier against Congo in Calabar.
However, Emenike says he has utmost respect for
Keshi.
“I have always treated Keshi like a father, and he
has always lived in my heart to be a goodfather.
Before now, we have been enjoying a smooth
relationship and I see no reason why he should
be holding grudges against me.”
“Keshi is a good coach, a coach with high
pedigree. I give him all the respect I can give my
father whenever I come for a national
assignment.
“Everything changed after the Nations Cup,
everything about him towards me changed and I
decided to stay on my own,” he further revealed.
“But I am very surprised by what he said that he
and some players in the Eagles are not happy
with me. Over what?
“I don’t want Nigerians to see me as being proud
or arrogant, but if the coach thought inviting me
to his team will not bring result or peace to the
team, he can let me be.
“I have maintained a solid relationship to avoid
quarreling with him, but if my invitation to play
for Nigeria does not stand for peace, I will like to
stay focused with my club,” Emenike said.
He added: “I have always loved to give my best for
Nigeria and I always make it known that I can
always fight to score goals for my country and I
will not like coach Keshi to let Nigerians see me as
an indisciplined player who is not ready to give
them my best again.
“My Super Eagles career is as important as my
club career. Coming to play for Nigeria was the
biggest decision I have ever made in my life. And I appreciate the way the fans have been striving
hard to cheer me up whenever I push for goal.”
He stated that: “I have never seen the Super
Eagles camp as my father’s house, it’s a temporary place for everybody, and why should we be making problems for ourselves? he asked.
“If Keshi thought inviting me is a problem to his
selection or the team, I will prefer to stay back
and maintain my big respect for him”.
