Nigeria's Coach Dismisses Claims Of Inviting The Uche's by buskie13(m): 7:57pm On Sep 09, 2014
Head coach of the Nigerian
national football team, Stephen
Keshi has laughed off reports that
he handed invitations to
Ikechukwu Uche and his brother,
Kalu for Wednesday’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier against South Africa.
The “Big Boss” said he was shocked at the
reports as it was simply not feasible to call up
the duo for the game against the Bafana Bafana.
“I have heard it (the reports) myself and I just
laughed because those who should know that we
have no time between our last game and the
match against Bafana Bafana are the same
people misleading Nigerians.
“These players are professional footballers and
there are processes for invitation, you don’t just
bump into them and say come and play, that is
very unprofessional and I never did that,” Keshi
explained.
Nigeria go into Wednesday’s clash against
Bafana Bafana on the heels of a humiliating 2-3
home loss to Congo last Saturday and Keshi is
looking for a quick response from his charges.
“We are the champions of Africa and we must
start showing that not only against Bafana but in
all our remaining games,” he said.
Goalkeeper and captain, Austin Ejide also moved
to voice his sentiments ahead of the game
against South Africa insisting that the contest will
be a difficult one
“There are no easy games again but we have our
backs to the wall now and we must do what we
have to do to move on in the chase to qualify for
the Nations Cup,” he said.
South Africa have never defeated Nigeria in a
competitive game at senior level.

I know this news will end up like this .... Even if it were to be true , the Uche brothers are not magician ! The time is too short for them.what is lacking in the eagles is link play , someone that will link the attack and the midfield .if we have that super eagles will have lesser problems .
