Nigeria: Siasia Lectures Osaze On Good Behavior

Eagles coach Samson Siasia has told twitter happy Osaze Peter Odemwingie to show more respect to team-mates and officials on and off the pitch.

Siasia revealed that he has patched up with the West Brom striker. The Eagles coach stated that it was important for Osaze to show respect because it will help him to reach the height of his career.

"It is important to observe rules and regulations and respect team-mates and other persons off-field. He needs to do this, if he is to reach the height of his career," said Siasia.

He declared that the rift between him and Osaze is a thing of the past.

"No problems again. We are now on the same page and things can move ahead in the best interest of Nigerian football. I like to say here that Osaze is one player I like very much due to his enthusiasm and total commitment to the cause on-field."

Osaze got into the bad books of Siasia when he twitted in March that his coach has got 'issues'. This was after Osaze left camp before the Eagles played a friendly against Kenya. Subsequently he was frozen out of the team by Siasia in their interantional friendly against Argentina and the Nations Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia.
