Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi appears to have shut the door on Ikechukwu Uche for the 2014 World Cup. Keshi, who had given a hint about his relationship with the striker soon after he released the squad list for the friendly match against Mexico, has maintained that the player lacked tactical discipline.
”Uche has a very bad habit; if you put him in a game, he will not play to instructions and he did that in the final of AFCON (South Africa 2013) against Burkina Faso; he almost cost us the game.
“Again he did that against Zambia, in
the second match when (Efe) Ambrose was given a red card. He was doing
the opposite of what we told him to do.”
Keshi added, “And if you don’t respect your teammates and you don’t
respect the team, then there is no point. I know he cannot do that in
his club, then why do it in the national team? I don’t think I need a
player like that in the team.”
