Proprietor of Cowbell Soccer Academy, Barrister Godwin Dudu-Orumen, has stated in clear terms that skipper of the Super Eagles, Joseph Yobo has no business in the national team, hence he should call it quits now when the ovation is loudest.
The outspoken sports journalist told P.M.NEWS Sports early today that he expects the Fenerbache of Turkey defender not to engage his national team coach, Stephen in a war of words over the latter’s decision to exclude him from the 2014 World Cup qualifier against the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar last month.
Dudu-Orumen advised Keshi to start looking for other defenders who can replace Yobo in the Eagles as his captain is a spent force in the national team.
He noted that there was no reason Keshi taking Yobo to the last Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa as the former Everton of England defender played little or no role in the team’s triumph in that competition.
The Edo State-born football aficionado believes that if the Eagles’ coach can beam his searchlight on Europe and other parts of the world, he would discover players that can add value to the team to replace aging players who may become cogs in the wheel of the Eagles’ progress.
