Ikechukwu Uche Rubbishes Keshi's 'begging' Claims by PhilipTosin(m): 9:05pm On Oct 11, 2014
Nigeria international and
Villarreal forward Ikechukwu
Uche has denied claims by
coach Stephen Keshi that he
demanded for apology before
honoring an invitation to play
for the Super Eagles. Keshi on Wednesday revealed
the pint-sized player was not invited to be part of the
team to play Congo and South Africa in the 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers because he wanted to be
begged.
"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,” said
Keshi in a press release by Super Eagles media
officer Ben Alaiya.
Reacting to this accusation, the former Getafe player
said he never demanded for any special treatment to
play for his country.
It's an honour to play for Nigeria. I don't expect
to be begged or given special treatment. I'm
available when/if considered for selection.

"It's an honour to play for Nigeria. I don't expect to be
begged or given special treatment. I'm available
when/if considered for selection," Uche wrote via his
Twitter account.
Uche fell out with the ‘Big Boss’ during the 2013 Africa
Cup of Nations in South Africa and has been snubbed
since, missing the Confederations Cup and 2014 Fifa
World Cup despite being Nigeria's highest scoring
striker in Europe in that period.
