No Special Treatment Ikechukwu Uche

Ike Uche
Nigeria striker, Ikechukwu Uche, has reacted to claims by the Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, that he wants to be begged to play for the country.
Keshi and Uche fell out during the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations following claims by the former that the latter failed to show complete commitment for the African champions.
The 30-year-old Villareal striker has now put out a veiled response to Keshi's comments that he is seeking "special treatment" in order to play for Nigeria.
The former Real Zaragoza and Getafe man has also made it clear that he remains available to feature for Nigeria "when/if considered for selection."
"It's an honour to play for Nigeria. I don't expect to be begged or given special treatment. I'm available when/if considered for selection," Uche said via his Twitter account on Wednesday.
Keshi on Wednesday had told journalists in Calabar: “Well, Ikechukwu Uche his name was originally in the list (for both games) but he said he needed somebody to speak with him maybe to beg him or something before he can come.
“And I said I cannot do that so I had to change Ike with somebody else."
