Obafemi Martins has asked the new Super Eagles coach if he
can still play for Nigeria again. While congratulating him on
his new job, Martins said Sunday Oliseh has all it takes to
coach the team and urged him to give him a chance to score
for Nigeria again.
It will be recalled that the footballer’s name was left out of
the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifying match against
Tanzania and international friendly game against Niger
scheduled for early next month. Martins has also been
nursing a four months injury and only returned to action for
Seattle Sounders last weekend.
“I hope I will soon get another chance to score goals for
Nigeria again and I also believe that with time and a little
more patience the Eagles will come back to their winning
ways under the new coach, because Oliseh has got all the
experience we need in a coach. He has played the game
before and I am really happy to see him in the Eagles again,”
he said
