Troost-ekong: No Ill Feelings Towards Oliseh, But I Hope He Is Watching His TV by Sportlineng: 11:28am On Oct 10, 2017
One of the players that made up of the Super Eagles’ “Oyibo wall” William Troost-Ekong has called out former Super Eagles handler Sunday Oliseh.

The former Tottenham trainee cited lack of trust as the reason why he didn’t feature regularly for the Super Eagles when Sunday Oliseh was in charge before asking if the Dutch Eerste Divisie side Fortuna Sittard handler is following his exploits with the Eagles.

“He didn’t believe in me then, but I think Nigerians can see now what I can do,” Troost-Ekong told aclsports.

“I hope he’s watching his TV now and seeing us going to the World Cup. No ill feelings, I saw him at the Olympics last year and we spoke briefly.”

The former Netherlands youth international hinted he found game time hard to come by during Oliseh’s spell as manager of the Super Eagles.

Troost-Ekong, who play for Bursaspor, made only two appearances for the national team, against Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo, under the stewardship of Oliseh before he was frozen out of the squad.

“The Olympics was like a restart for my international career. I was part of the Super Eagles until Sunday Oliseh took me out because he said Oyibo boys are too soft,” Troost-Ekong said.

Nigeria have kept seven clean sheets in 15 matches William Troost-Ekong featured for the national team, and he partnered German-born Leon Balogun in central defense in five of those games, against Chad, Mali, Tanzania, Cameroun and Zambia.
