Obafemi Martins of  Seattle Sounders  has speculated on why he was left out of the national team by the Big Boss which has led
to calling time on his international career.

The forward just came off a season where he led his side to Major League Soccer play-offs
as well as winning the Supporters' Shield.

Despite being in top form and scoring 17 goals in the just conclude season where he earned nomination for the Most Valuable Player award, Martins was ignored for the Super Eagles' 2014 Fifa World Cup campaign.

December last year he called time on his international career after earning 39 caps and scoring 18 goals in the span of 10 years playing for the Eagles.

"I don't think [Keshi] love me, that's all. I don't have any issues with him," Martins told media when asked about his relationship with the
coach who is yet to have his contract renewed.

Martins scored the lone goal in the Football for Hope charity match organized by the Lagos State government that left Governor Babatunde Fashola's side on the losing end on Saturday at the Campos Mini Stadium in Lagos.
Other stars that played in Martins' team were Asisat Oshoala, Lukman Haruna, Babatunde Michael, Razak Omotoyossi, Nnamdi Oduamadi, Onome Ebi and John Dosu.

The BRF All Stars paraded former internationals Victor Agali, Jonathan Akpoborie, Gbenga Okunnowo, Godwin Okpara and Waheed Akanni.
