Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has stated categorically that team’s captain, Joseph Yobo must work extra hard to remain in the team, having been out of the squad since after the Nations Cup in South Africa.
Speaking at a media parley at the team’s camp, Bolton White Apartments in Abuja yesterday, the big boss noted that the Fernabahce of Turkey star defender, Joseph Yobo remains the national team skipper, even if he had not been in constant contact with him recently, but noted that the defender has a lot to do.
“For the captain of the team, he has to work extra hard to remain so because he is the leader of the team and that has been the philosophy of the team since we took over because that was the way we were brought up to captain the national team,” Keshi declared.
Though, Keshi said he has a lot of respect for Yobo because of what he had done for the nation, he made it clear that he could not invite Yobo to the team only to put him on the bench. “It will not be fair to invite Yobo to the national team and ask him to be on the bench, it will be a huge disgrace and I won’t be part of that. When the team needs him he will be recalled and will definitely start as captain, even if along the line we substitute him
