Except the unexpected happens, Super Eagles and Enugu Rangers winger Ejike Uzoenyi is one of the players who will form part of Nigeria’s 2014 World Cup squad.
The performance of the striker in the just concluded African Nations Championship in South Africa, where he was declared the Most Valuable Player of the tournament has placed the striker in pole position to make the Stephen Keshi World Cup squad.
In a chat with reporters after the bronze winning effort of the Super Eagles in Cape Town, Keshi said, “I can safely say this is Ejike’s tournament and I thank God for him.”
Keshi was asked at the mixed zone after the match against Zimbabwe to review the performance of the Rangers striker in the tournament.
The coach admitted Ejuke towered above others despite the unfortunate semi final loss to Ghana, and he said, “Ejike did wonderfully well. He made the tournament look like his project and his efforts have been acknowledged by all.”
Although the coach said he would not disclose the names of the players who will make the World Cup squad, he assured that he would be happy if the petite forward w makes the World Cup squad, all things being equal.
“He has done well, but there is room for improvement. I hope he makes the squad,” Keshi prayed. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
