Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has said that any attempt to force invitation of players on Stephen Keshi will not augur well for the country at the World Cup in Brazil.
Reacting to the clamour for the inclusion of in-form Osaze Odemwingie and Ikechukwu Uche in the Super Eagles World Cup team, Siasia urged for caution saying time is too short to manage players who are not disciplined.
"If Keshi says he does not need these two players who are doing well in their respective clubs in Europe, we should respect his stand and don't try to force them on him. He does not need any distraction at this point in time.
"Having worked with Osaze I know he is not an easy player to manage so Keshi should be left to decide. Ike Uche is a good guy but since Keshi insists he does not need him for the world cup, so be it," Siasia stated.
He said the time left for preparing for the World Cup is too short to manage players with negative attitude and build a team that will do well at the mundial adding that at this point all hands must be on deck to ensure a good outing.
