Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has stated that in form Villareal forward, Ike Uche will not be playing in the World Cup in Brazil this year due to his big boy style of play.
He complained about Uche’s inability to follow instructions.
Speaking to Mtnfootball.com, Keshi said, “Ike Uche’s problem is that he wants to dictate how we play in Super Eagles, he wants to tell us the system we’re playing is not good. Uche has a very bad habit, that if you put him in the game he is not playing to instructions and he did that in the final of AFCON against Burkina Faso, he almost cost us.
“Again he did that against Zambia, in the second match when (Efe)Ambrose was given a red card. What we told him to do, he was doing the opposite. And if you don’t respect your team mates and you don’t respect the team, then there is no point. I know he cannot do that in his club, then why do it in the national team? I don’t think I need a player like that in the team.”
