</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Coach Samson Siasia has however declared that the player is not going anywhere and remains vital to his plans at the competition.</font>
</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\"We are aware of some pressure (from Hoffenheim) but Obasi is here for the Olympics and will conclude the assignment with Nigeria.\" Siasia said</font>
</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">The 23 year old striker has played only 37 minutes for the Dream Team IV squad so far in the tournament, and this has obviously upset Hoffenheim.</font>
</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">The player’s manager John Shittu also confirmed the incident in another interview with KickoffNigeria website.</font>
</p><p><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\">\"The coach called me and was very unhappy. He was asking me if all the fight we were fighting to release Chinedu was just to put the boy on the bench? </font></font></p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\"He said the season has started and if the coach doesn’t want to play him, they should release him to come back because they need him more at the club,\" Shittu told KickOffNigeria.com.</font>
</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has however stated that the player would remain with the team till they end their tourney.</font>
</p><p><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\">\"It is not going to happen. Obasi is here till the end of the Olympics. No one will force him to return to Germany,\" said NFF General Secretary, Bolaji Ojo-Oba in Beijing.</font></font>
</p><p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">The Nigerian Olympic Soccer team would square up against the United States of America tomorrow in their last group game, only an outright victory would guarantee the teams progression to the next round.</font>
