After the Super Eagles pulsating 2-2 draw against the Tartan Army of Scotland at the Craven Cottage in London on Wednesday, players of the World Cup bound team have started to take stock of what may be in the coming days with many of them saying they don’t envy Coach Stephen Keshi at this very difficult period.
Team Skipper, Joseph Yobo, said at the post match conference that if he was the coach he will find it difficult to drop any of the players that is presently in the 30-man squad.
“Nigeria is blessed with talents and that is why I think all the players here merit to be in Brazil, even when we have some other very good ones still hanging out.
If you watch the game against Scotland, you will know that the ‘Big Boss’ needs to be pitied over dropping players and picking those who will make the final 23. It will be tough.
Stoke City forward Osaze Odemwingie, on his part said he was happy at the response of his teammates to his return to the national side. “But how do we drop players now from this squad. Everybody here is good but we should leave that to the coach but I know it would be a tough task.
England based Shola Ameobi, declared that playing for the Nigerian side has made him a better team player because of the quality of players in camp and wished he had started playing earlier for the team. “We are all good but we should just pray for the coach to ensure that he picks the best for the World Cup”.
Towering defence ace, Azubuike Egwuekwe put it more succinctly: “When I was going into the match against Scotland I said to myself O’boy you are on trial, now I know that its our coach who has a really difficult job of picking the 23 players for Brazil 2014 to do”.
