Super Eagles goalkeeper, Dele Aiyenugba, on Saturday said he was not bitter by his exclusion from the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup Eagles squad even as he deserves a call up by the coach.
The former Enyimba FC of Aba goalkeeper described the Super Eagles list as fantastic and expressed his readiness to fly the colours of the country if given the opportunity.
“When you desire something and you don’t get it, you continue to work to get it.
“I deserve a place in the list, but since the coach excludes me, I have to respect his decision.
“I love my country and I will jump at a chance to come back again, the joy of a player is to play for his country,” Aiyenugba said.
He said the Super Eagles had a good chance in the World Cup because; there were many good players in the squad.
Aiyenugba added that no nation was a pushover in the 32 countries to battle for supremacy because; they all fought hard and must be accorded same respect.
“I believe in these guys, they will make it to the next round and progress with determination,” he said.
