Nigeria goalkeeper Aiyenugba: I deserve World Cup spot

Sunday, 11 May 2014



Dele Aiyenugba has stated that he deserves a place in Nigeria's World Cup squad but insists he holds no grudges over his exclusion from the team.

The Nigeria international goalkeeper reiterated his desire to stay relevant within the national set-up, but added that he remains bound by the decision of coach Stephen Keshi, as his continued exclusion is a call for improvement.

“When you desire something and you don’t get it, you continue to work to get it. I deserve a place in the (provisional) list, but since the coach excludes me, I have to respect his decision. 

“I love my country and I will jump at a chance to come back again, the joy of a player is to play for his country,” Aiyenugba said.

The former Enyimba man endorsed the 30-man provisional list released by Keshi, reasserting his belief that the Super Eagles will go beyond the first round of Fifa's flagship event.
