Super Eagles returnee midfielder, Ejike Uzoenyi was sparkling in training yesterday but the moment the training ended, he looked like a fish out of water.
While the hordes of Journalists swarmed on the players and officials for interviews, the Enugu Rangers player found himself standing aloof.
‘’There is nothing wrong. Its just that I cannot believe that I am part of the World Cup”, he confessed as he was yet to come to realities that he was a World Cup player for the Brazil World Cup. The player who won the Most Valuable Player, MVP, award at the CHAN competition in South Africa had his expectations cut short when he was dropped from the 23 man list for the World.
But destiny turned back the hands of the clock when Elderson Echiejiele got injured and Uzoenyi was recalled.
‘’I’m okay and ready to give my best when am called to play. It is a thing of joy for me only that I am still in shock that I am back to the World Cup after being dropped”, he said as he moved towards the tunnel to board their bus to the hotel. ‘’It is God. God is great. I remain grateful to him”.
