Super Eagles stand in skipper, Vincent Enyeama, was in jolly
mood as the team held its media parley with the national team on Wednesday
morning, declaring that he was not in competition with any of the goalies for
the number one shirt of the national team.
Enyeama also gave a hint that sooner than later he will quit
the Super Eagles, even as Lazio of Italy midfield youngster, Ogenyi Onazi
assured that the team will come out clean against Malawi on Saturday.
Enyeama, who spoke first told the media that all the three
goalkeepers in the national team, himself, Austin Ejide and Chigozie Agbim are
in the form of their lives and any of them will man the post well if chosen by
the national team handlers. “All of us are good and I must say I am not in
competition with any of them neither are they with me. Nigeria is blessed with
great talents and it’s always good when you are called up to play”.
Onazi on his part said he along with his teammates are fired
up for Saturday’s game and assured that the team will not disappoint despite
the furore that has been generated ahead of the
encounter.
The team trained under rainfall on Wednesday at the UJ
Esuene Stadium in Calabar, Nigeria’s preferred tourism destination with Sports
Commissioner, Patrick Ugbe monitoring proceedings. Keshi said during training
that whether it rains or it suns the team was ready for the battle against Malawi,
declaring the focus is not only to win against Malwai but to get to the World
Cup Championship in Brazil next year.
Despite
the heavy rains that prevented some of the players from coming for the
evening training, only Nnamdi Oduamadi and John arrived the latest to
the Eagles camp.
