In a Tweet yesterday by Coach Stephen Keshi who reportly said that Villarreal CF star, Ikechukwu Uche has declared that he won’t play for the Super Eagles unless Keshi and and other members of the coaching crew beg him.

It is however not clear why the footballer wants to be begged before he can play for the Super Eagles but its believed that his anger could be traced back to the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil. The Star was among those dropped by the Coach at the just concluded Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

“He was supposed to be part of the team that is presently in camp but he said we must beg him first to play for Nigeria because he was left out of some competitions but I can’t beg anyone to play for Nigeria, impossible. That’s why he is not here,” revealed the former Togo and Mali gaffer, Coach Steven Keshi
