Former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike who recently announced
his retirement from international football revealed that his decision to
resign has nothing to do with Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh. Sunday Oliseh has faced a lot of criticism lately
“I have absolutely nothing against the coach (Oliseh).
As
for me, I still remain loyal to coach Sunday Oliseh and I want to
believe he understands my decision. My decision has nothing to do with
the coach, who is a brave man, a technically sound person, my decision
has nothing to go against his vision for the Super Eagles. Me out of the
team will equally ease pressure on the coach and it will enable the
younger players to fight harder for the team.
Nigeria have
produced lots of talented goal poacher like Julius Aghahowa, Victor
Agali, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Samuel Okwaraji, Obafemi Martins, Ike Uche,
Rashidi Yekini just to mention a few. I believe with God on our side,
the team will fly higher without Emenike, I will be glad to see them
qualify for both the AFCON and World Cup in 2018. We have lots of good
players in the team and more are still coming in to contribute, so I
believe the team will get better and stronger as time goes on. The team
will be great under Oliseh.” he told African Football.
Sunday
Oliseh had earlier stated that he was surprised to learn from Emenike’s
retirement as well but a lot of blame was still directed at the coach
following his spat with Vincent Enyeama.
