The body language of Super Eagles stand-in captain, Vincent Enyeama, was highly positive as the team prepares for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against the Flames of Malawi in Calabar and he has assured that nothing short of victory is the Eagles watchword in weekend’s game.
Enyeama 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 would 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 rainfall or sunshine 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 rainfall that prevented some of the players from coming for the evening training, only Nnamdi Oduamadi and John arrived the latest to the Eagles camp.
