Obafemi Martins recall, Oliseh Succumbs to Pressure-Abdulahi

By -
Following the recent call up and shocking return of Obafemi Martins back to the National team, reactions have continued to trail this decision by Coach Sunday Oliseh. While some feels that it is a recognition of the strikers self exploit in his Major League Soccer 'Seattle Sounders Club', others are of the opinion that the decision is ill willed.

Similarly, in a recent development, a former international Heyman Abdulahi has describe the decision of Martins return as a sign of Sunday Oliseh trying to win back his critics who in recent times have placed him under their surgical table.

Speaking with Saturday Daily Trust, the former Grasshopper FC of Zurich Player admitted that Coach Sunday Oliseh is beginning to succumb to pressure while showing early signs of desperation.

“I believe strongly that Oliseh is under pressure. Nigerians want results so he has decided to go for those players he believes can deliver. 
“However, this is not in line with his earlier vow. With players like Obafemi Martins, how is he going to build a team for the future?.
“There are so many young Nigerians out there who have not been tested. I thought Oliseh would be patient and look for younger players. Now he has bowed to pressure and it will not augur well for the team,” he noted.
Obafemi Martins who has not laced his boot for the Super Eagles for some years now has been included in the team selection as part of those pencil down to file out against Swaziland in a world cup qualifying match in November.

Seemingly, While the above bask in a cuspidal political fashion, the European community wasn't left out in the dissection as they watched closely with tight-fisted arms.
