Martins gives up on World Cup dream, Watch The Video Of The interview

Since Keshi took charge of Nigeria, Martins has only played once and that was in a World Cup qualifier in 2012 and has not been heard of since relating to a Super Eagles call-up.
In an interview with the Seattle Times, Martins said: “I think there is nothing to say. He’s the head coach, so he knows the players that he wants. There is nothing I can talk about, (nothing) like calling him.”
The media had recently linked the striker with a possible loan move to Europe to
Rizespor and West Ham United but nothing materialised after talks.

“I think right now I’m not going to talk about anything right now because I’m back in Seattle. I want to start with the team and we’ll see where it goes from there,” he said.

“I think it’s good to have a break, because playing in Spain, coming back here, coming to Seattle, starting right away, I think I’ve been playing for like a year, a year and a month or so. But it’s good to have an offseason, to have rest, and then come in today (Saturday).
“I don’t really think about last season. This is a new season now. We just have to continue and try to do better than we did last season.”
