Nigeria
international
goalkeeper,
Vincent Enyeama
has been
selected as the
best shot
stopper in Ligue
1 for 2014 by
prestigious French Newspaper, L’Equipe.
The 32-year-old was selected as the
league’s best goalkeeper for 2014 despite
Lille’s stuttering start to the 2014-15
season that sees them languishing in place
in 13th place in the 20-team standings.
Enyeama has played in every minute of
Lille’s 56 league matches since he returned
from his loan spell at Israeli club, Maccabi
Tel Aviv in 2013.
This is the second successive year that
Enyeama has been selected as Ligue’s 1’s
most outstanding goalkeeping talent by
L’Equipe.
Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Ike
Shorunmu works with Enyeama in the
Nigeria national team and he’s not
surprised by the former Enyimba
goalkeeper’s latest accolade.
“From the first day I saw Vincent
(Enyeama), I knew he was a star. Having
worked with him, I can say for a fact that
he’s the best in Africa and one of the best
in the world,” Shorunmu told
supersport.com.
Only three other players selected from last
year, Gregory Van der Wiel, Maxwell and
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, retained their spots in
the prestigious list this year.
Simon Kjaer was the only other player from
LOSC Lille to make the list while Olympic
Marseille’s Camerounian defender, Nicolas
N’koulou was the other African selected by
L’Equipe’s panelists.
Predictably, the impressive Argentinean,
Javier Pastore made the “dream eleven” as
Jeremy Toulalan, Alexandre Lacazette,
Maxwell and Georges Ntep.
