Stephen Keshi, the coach of the Nigerian national team, has indicated that Ikechukwu Uche may not be included in the World Cup squad due to his attitude. Despite Uche’s talent, Keshi has voiced concerns about the player’s behavior and his attempt to impose his style of play on the Super Eagles.
In an interview with MTNFootball.com, Keshi stated that Uche’s problem lies not in his footballing abilities but in his desire to dictate the team’s playing style. Keshi emphasized the importance of respecting teammates and the team’s system, suggesting that Uche’s attitude does not align with the Super Eagles’ ethos.
Keshi made it clear that he does not believe such behavior is acceptable, stating that he does not need a player who does not respect the team’s dynamics. This stance from the coach may have implications for Uche’s inclusion in the Nigerian squad for the World Cup.
Uche, who recently played for Villarreal, may find himself facing consequences for his actions, particularly if he hopes to represent Nigeria on the world stage.
