Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi had
to come in to settle a feud between the Super
Eagles duo of John Mikel Obi and
Emmanuel Emenike.
According to reports, the two senior players have been at loggerheads
since the goalless draw against Greece last Wednesday, but after Keshi’s intervention, they both hugged
and shook hands.
“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.”
It is also understood that other squad players were given
the chance to pour out their minds, so every dispute could be settled ahead of
Nigeria’s participation at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The Eagles faces Iran
in their opening Group F match on June 15.
