Steven Keshi remains a highly respected figure in Nigerian football and alot is expected of him at the World Cup holding soon in Brazil
By Abdulmumini Adeku.
Envy, fits of jealousy laced with ego rather than sporting
reasons may be behind the continued shut out of such football stars like Kalu
Uche of Al Rayyan Football Club,Qatar, Ikechuckwu Uche of Villareal Football
Club in Spain,Obafemi Martins of Seattle Sounders of the MSL,USA,Taiye Taiwo of
Bursaspor Football Club,Turkey among others.
In an exclusive chart with a sport media executive,Mr Dapo
Sotuminu ,Paedia Express Multimedia leanrt
exclusively that the Super Eagles Gaffer
shocked him recently when said that he
was not going to invite the famous football playing brothers simply because they
were from the same family.
It would be recalled that Keshi recently reacted to an Ikechukwu
uche ‘s outburst that his run of goals coring form in the Spanish Primeira liga
was not going to be enough to get him a World Cup invite in the Super Eagles.
A lot of analysts are also stunned that despite the great
run off his elder brother ‘Kalu Uche especially in the Highly prized Asian
Champions League with Al Rayyan Football
Club in Qatar ,he just may suffer the same fate like his younger brother.
In fairness to the gaffer who told this reporter during a
GTBANK football media parley that he was going to give all in good form a
chance to stake there chance at a place on the flight to Brazil during the
world cup,but analysts are quick to differ based on his body language.
A player like Obafemi Martins has been shut out despite a
fine vein of form in the major soccer league while Bright Dike who has not done
as much will surely have been on the plane if he was not injured.
Taiye Taiwo who has been very visible for his club in Turkey will have to pray for a divine
intervention as Elderson Echiejiele who cannot remember when last he played for
French Riviera soccer gods,A.S.Monaco will
has been forgotten on the trash can of history.
Goalkeeper Chigozie Agbim who recently moved to Gombe United
at home in Nigeria has been sensationally picked for the soccer show piece by
the man they call the big boss despite wobbling and fumbling in South Africa
recently.
An analyst recently reeled out the list of seven top goalkeepers
in the Nigerian Glo soccer League and they were all better than Keshi’s man..
