Head Coach of the Super Eagles Stephen Keshi reportedly had
to play the role of a father in settling a dispute between Super Eagles
senior players John Obi Mikel and Emmanuel Emenike.
The duo,who had been at loggerheads since the 0-0 draw against Greece on Wednesday shook hands and hugged after a lengthy meeting initiated and chaired by Stephen Keshi.
“Keshi had a family chat with the boys yesterday and in the meeting
he made it known to Mikel and Emenike that their rift is unsettling the
team,” a source said.
“After a heated exchange both players poured
out their minds after which Keshi settled them but not without getting
involved in a shouting game with one of them.”
“At the end both
players shook hands,hugged and even ended up in each other’s room
chatting before going to bed, it’s over thanks to Keshi spotting it
early.”
SL10 gathered that all 23 players who were present at the
meeting were asked to speak out their grievances so all issues could be
ironed out before their flight to Brazil today.
Newcastle forward
Shola Amoebi, the oldest and most experienced among the players, advised
his team mates on the strength of being united as a team with no ill
feelings towards one another.
The team trained once yesterday
ahead of their departure to Brazil for the World Cup with their first
game scheduled for 15th of June against Iran.
