Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo has said he felt
‘disrespected’ by Stephen Keshi for not being told that he would not be called
up for last month’s 2014 World Cup qualifying match against Kenya which ended
1-1 at the U.J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar.
The Fenerbahce of Turkey defender, who is four
appearances short of making a century of appearances for the national team,
said on a radio station on Tuesday that he should have been told before the
list was made available to the public.
This statement rhymes with the same complaint made
by Peter Odemwingie on the eve of the Nations Cup from which the West Brom
striker was excluded.
“I’m disappointed nobody called me before the team
list was announced,” Yobo told Brila FM on Tuesday.
“It’s disrespectful. I feel disrespected. I am the
captain of the Super Eagles and I thought the coach should have put a call
across to me.
“I have no problem being left out,” the 12-year
veteran of the national team added.
The Super Eagles escaped with a 1-1 draw in the
World Cup qualifying match after a last gasp effort from Italy-based Nnamadi
Oduamadi saved Nigeria from an embarrassing defeat at home.
