The Super Eagles
training at the University
of Calabar soccer pitch inside the main campus of the ivory
tower is fast turning to a funfair of some sort as fans numbering over
five thousand troop in daily to cheer the team at training.
It was
initially mild on Monday morning, but by the
evening of Monday, it has assumed a more exciting dimension, with
students and other fans occupying nearly all available spaces within the
football complex. It even got sweeter on Tuesday morning.
The fans
exhibited very good knowledge of the players , and their clubsides,
urging them to go and conquer against Namibia on Sunday, with cheers for
every move of the players and officials.
Victor Moses, Ahmed Musa and
Ikechukwu Uche received applause specially. Not surprisingly, skipper of
the side, Vincent Enyeama, an Alma Mater of the school, was the fans
favourite, as they not only cheer every save he made but even advised
him on what next move to make in his football career.
Some of the
fans chanted, ‘Enyeama, leave Lille and go to England. Arsenal dey wait
for you”.
Another roared ‘ no let French people kill your talent, Wenger
dey wait for you for London’. Many more too numerous were chanted
during training. The Eagles first choice, simply smiled away and waved
at the fans at the end of every training session.
