Former Manchester City midfield maestro Yaya Toure has fired a warning shot to Super Eagles coach Austine Eguavoen on Watford forward Emmanuel Dennis.
Dennis was handed a recall to the senior national team of Nigeria by Eguavoen for the World Cup qualifiers playoff games against Ghana despite his infamous decision to shun an invitation to be a part of the squad to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Dennis is staging a return to the team after he was frozen out of the team by former coach Gernot Rohr who questioned the player’s attitude and also fell out with him following an act of indiscipline. Toure has sent a timely reminder to Eguavoen.
Toure was a guest in the studio when Arsenal defeated Watford 3-2 with Dennis playing the entire duration of the game but despite having a hand in the build up to the first goal scored by Watford, Toure said he looked disconnected from the rest of the team.
” Dennis is the top scorer and he looks very much the player who can hurt Arsenal but he appears to be playing for himself. He doesn’t put in enough work without the ball and even during kickoff he didn’t take the knee with the rest of the team. He can do more for the team”, Toure told English Premier League production after the game.
