[b][size=14pt] Give Me a Chance, Obafemi Martins Begs Oliseh •Says he wants to score goals for new boss •Denies international retirement [/size]  Obafemi Martins' Nigeria international, Obafemi Martins has asked new Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh to give him a chance to prove himself just as he has backed the coach to succeed with the national team. The Seattle Sounders striker, only returned to action for the Major League Soccer (MLS) side last weekend after two months out, netting brace as they crushed Orlando 4-0. One of the goals was voted AT&T Goal of the Week – the third time that the former Newcastle and Inter Milan man has taken home the gong. The former VfL Wolfsburg star player believes his present form will be vital for the senior national team as he is already dreaming of scoring goals for the Oliseh’s new-look team. “I hope I will soon get another chance to score goals for Nigeria again and I also believe that with time and a little more patience the Eagles will come back to winning ways under new coach Sunday Oliseh. He has gotten all the experience we need in a coach, he has played the game before and I am really happy to see him in eagles again.” On the 4th of December 2014, local media in Africa and Italian sports paper misquoted Martins saying he had retired from international football. However Obagoal as fondly called has denied ever making such announcement. The former Levante striker last played for the Super Eagles in 2013 and since then he has not been considered by the former Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi. Martins who has 39 caps with 18 goals since he debuted for Nigeria stated that he is still open for call up from the new national team handler. “I never announced my retirement, in any form or anyway, it was not official at all, I was unhappy to be treated as if am not a Nigerian footballer, I have represented Nigeria, at the Nations Cup, World Cup, and I still want to play more, it’s a new eagles now, led by Oliseh, so why will I retire now, I am still young.” Obagoal made a scoring debut for Nigeria on May 29, 2004 against the Republic of Ireland. On November 17, 2007, the attacker captained his country for the first time in a friendly against Australia that marked his 19th appearance. His 83rd minute strike on November 12, 2009 against Kenya in Nairobi ensured the Super Eagles qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
