Yobo's time is Gone-He's too old&too slow Now to play in World Cup!

Yobo in action for Norwich.

Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo has said Norwich City battle for survival in the EPL will prepare him for the World Cup in Brazil. The ex-Everton defender wants to keep doing all he can to keep ‘The Canaries’ up and as well as boost his own hopes of earning a place in Nigeria’s World Cup squad. “My main priority is Norwich, the World Cup after that,” Yobo told Mirror. “I need to be 100 per cent ready for the World Cup. Whatever I am going to do, going to the World Cup or my next move, this position gets me ready for anything. “Fighting for relegation, I haven’t really been there in a long time. At Everton were pushing for Europe, at Fenerbahce we were pushing to win the league. But when you are down the bottom it is about
grinding out results. “It is strange and a different type of football. But I strongly believe Norwich will stay up. “At home we are very dominant, we just have to improve our away form. It is not down to the manager – the players have to stand up and take more responsibility. We have made a few mistakes. “It would be a big achievement to keep ‘The Canaries’ up.”
Yobo also talks of the sacrifice he had to make by leaving his family behind-“Speaking to my family, I didn't want to leave them, it was very difficult.

“My family are missing out on a lot of things going on right now. It was a very hard decision to make but sometimes you have to look after your career, it wasn't about money.

“The Premier League is the best league in the world and my priority is keeping Norwich up.

“The World Cup was also coming and I needed to play.

“But my little boy is wondering why I moved. His birthday is coming up next month. It is something I never want to miss.

“It is the first time I am staying anywhere without him. But my missus played a big part in this. She knows I can still do it when I am fully fit.

“She saw the frustration when you think you should be in the team and you are not. She wants me to push my career and is going to do her best to take care of the family in my absence.”

I have watched Yobo several times for Norwich.He is doing his best and is resilient,but i'm afraid he's past his best.One of the reasons Nigeria won the Nations cup was that we went back to ythe Eagles of old,pace power and aggression...Yobo has none of these no more and it will be a great mistake if he starts any game at the world cup.Maybe to come in in the last 5 mins if we need to close out a game,he can use his experience to organaise the boys,anything less will be a disaster!
