Enyeama has kept 14 clean sheets in French
League.
Super Eagles and Lille of France goalkeeper,
Vincent Enyeama, has continued to garner
praise from within and outside Nigeria for his
spectacular performances in the French Ligue
1 that has seen him kept 14 clean-sheets
(includes 11 on the bounce) in his last 16
games, the second longest streak in the
history of the French championship.
The latest person to sing Enyeama’s praise is
the President of French Club, Olympique
Marseille, Vincent Labrune, who simply
described the Eagles stand-in captain as
outstanding.
French tabloid, L’Equipe, quoted Labrune as
saying: “Vincent Enyeama’s performance? At
this level, he’s a running gag. He has had an
outstanding game.” Lille had defeated
Marseille 1-0 in a Ligue 1 encounter.
Formerly seen as surplus to requirement,
Enyeama has become the mainstay in Lille as
his performance this season is giving his club
a fighting chance for the French League title.
They are currently just one point adrift of table
topping huge spenders, PSG.
For many, 31-year old Enyeama seems to be
getting better with every passing day and his
loud ambition of becoming the world’s best
has received the blessings of the likes of
Atlanta 1996 Olympic Gold medallist, Dosu
Joseph (MON), who in a recent interview said
Enyeama has what it takes to be amongst the
world’s best shot stoppers.
Enyeama on his part remains calm about his
performances as he has attributed his good
form to his coaches as well as great team
work from his colleagues.
“What can I say! I am just enjoying the
moment,” Enyeama told Bein Sport. “It’s not
just me, though, it is the whole group. We stay
strong like a team. We have the spirit and the
strength. I don’t know what is possible now.
All I can say is that I have a great team round
me and a great set of coaches.”
Now at 1035 minutes without conceding a
goal, Enyeama is closing in on breaking
the20-year old record of 1176 minutes set by
then Bordeaux goalkeeper, Gaetan Huard.
