I'll rather play for Everton than Nigeria - Anichebe

[Sunexx360]

NIGERIAN international, Victor Anichebe is torn between the devil and the deep blue seawhen it comes to choice between playing for the Super Eagles and his English Premiership club, Everton.
If Anichebe continues his recent good form, he may have a difficult choice to make if Nigeria calls him up for the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
The top striker, who missed action for four months last year after tearing a groin muscle when on international duty for Nigeria in Madagascar, said he is torn between helping out his country and showing loyalty to Everton after they have supported him.
"I love my country but Everton is what I am thinking about," he admits.
"Everton helped me so much particularly when I was depressed about my injuries. They stood by me. They sent me away to America and to Belgium for rehab. I could look back at my injuries but it's better to forget about that stuff and be a man. As long as I am fit, I am good," he said.
The 24-year-old player frankly admits only a strong religious upbringing and some choicewords from his Mum kept him going during the dark times when one bad injury seemed to follow another.
'I am a Christian but it was difficult to keep my faith at times. It was easy to think it is all rubbish and didn't mean anything, but it does.
'My mum was supportive and said God had given me this ability so I should use it. She almost forced me to continue with my faith when I was in danger of losing it," Anichebe added.                                Tribune Nigeria

I feel your pain....when you not in great shape the National team gets to dump you, its best to concentrate on the team that pays your wages.
