Peter Odemwingie’s recent impressive performances with Stoke City may have caught the attention of many, but it won’t be enough to secure him a spot in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. According to Stephen Keshi, the former coach of the Togo Sparrowhawks, Odemwingie’s individual form doesn’t outweigh the importance of team cohesion and unity.
While acknowledging Odemwingie’s return to form and goal-scoring abilities, Keshi emphasized that the Nigerian team is built on collective strength rather than individual prowess. He stressed the significance of maintaining team chemistry and unity, highlighting that no single player is above the team. Therefore, Keshi indicated that he wouldn’t consider selecting a player whose inclusion could potentially disrupt the harmony within the squad.
