Almeria of Spain midfielder, Ramon Azeez, has thanked the Nigeria Football Federation and Coach Stephen Keshi for inviting him to the national team as preparation begins for the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
Azzez vowed he will not let the opportunity slip off his fingers.
Similarly, Cercle Brugges of Belgium midfielder, Michael Uchebo, is convinced that he has a part to play in Nigeria’s quest for glory during the mundial in Brazil.
“The coach has told us that we have equal opportunity to make the team. If I am invited for the final phase of preparation I will not disappoint my fans,” the Nwankwo Kanu look alike said in Atlanta, United States of America.
Ex-junior international, Azeez said it has always been his ambition to play at the senior level and now that he been given the opportunity, he will do all he can to remain in the team.
“I thank God for this invitation and I promise to do even better when next I am called up,” Azeez said.
Keshi, while assessing the performance of his wards against Mexico, said it was fair but he was not too happy at the manner the players were losing the ball easily to the opponents.
“I guess its because we have not played together for quite a while, but that will be addressed when camp opens for the World Cup and I know the quality of players we have in this team they will surely go places,” he said.
