Emenike at the weekend scored a brace to help Al Ain win the United Arab Emirate Super Cup, but many will question his invitation to the Super Eagles after Oliseh’s declaration that he will pick players featuring in the top leagues for his team, africanFootball.com reports.
The coach recalled the last time he faced Nigeria as a player in a World Cup qualifier inside the National Stadium in Lagos, saying, “I knew Nigeria when I was a player that was the time we played the Eagles in Lagos”.

“I am expecting to work with my fellow countrymen and I am impressed with the tactical display of some of the players“.
“Those who are commenting or laying emphasis on the fact that we rely mainly on foreign players to play should start asking questions because we are back home to train and we don’t have people to train beecause every club is trying to hold on to them”.
