Odemwingie admits nerves

Saturday, 14 June 2014



Osaze Odemwingie admits that nerves played a part in his poor showing on his return to the national team.

The Stoke striker struggled with his first touch in games against Scotland and Greece and admits that he was a little nervous.

"It feels great to be back in the squad and to receive the kind of welcome I got from the boys," he told KickOffNigeria.com.

"But I didn't do too well and maybe I was a little nervous because it has been such a long time since I played for the national team."

In typically saucy Odemwingie fashion, he then shifted the blame to the ball. 

"I'm used to playing with adidas ball and this one was Nike!"

Returning to serious mode, the forward said he expected to return to form in time for the start of the World Cup.

"But I've been working on it and I know I need to relax a little more and just do my thing. It will come."
