Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, has
promised to strip to his shorts if Nigeria wins the
Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off tomorrow.
Enyeama is likely to be in between the posts for
Stephen Keshi’s team, after Austine Ejide picked
up a thigh injury. According to the veteran
goalkeeper, “It will be a dream come true and I
am certain I will strip to my shorts. Yes, let
everyone hear it that I will strip to my shorts if
we are champions,” the former Enyimba goalie
said.
He also spoke about his future beyond the
continental fiesta; Enyeama is looking to keep
playing till he is 40 years or more: “I aim to
keep playing until am 40 years old. If possible I
wish to play till I am 42. I work hard and I am
focused. I know that if I do as little as I did today
(he spoke to supersport.com after the Super
Eagles’ victory over Dutch side Sparta
Rotterdam) in more matches then I can easily
play that long.”
However, the stopper said he takes each match
as it comes, even as Nigeria awaits its first
trophy in 19 years: “Personally, I do not think we
are looking at the trophy for now. We want to
win the first game, then the next and then the
one after that… Nigerians should have faith in
us, believe the best of us and pray for us. It is
not beyond our abilities to win the competition
with God on our side,” he said.
