In football team management, personnel and man-management is very key...Sunday Oliseh displayed his short-coming in that area in this Vincent Enyeama situation. I pray he learns the lessons and grow into the job. Why did he even invite and established Enyeama wey dey mourn him mama for friendly matches that he could have used to try out other options in that position. Why did they invite/go with only two keepers in the first place? If Oliseh didnt invite Alampasu before, and then invited him after the issues in camp, if you be Enyeama, wont you think dem wan rubbish you? Oliseh has put himself in more pressure with this avoidable situation and just fuelled Nigerians' impatience if he does not starts winning matches sharpsharp. ANd he could do with patience and understanding of people on this job. When people are still talking about his lack of experience in the dugout, he is arming them with koboko to flog him. Whatever, UP EAGLES!!!! 1 Like |

The essence of being a team is, everybody contributes ideas/opinions and all hands are on deck practically and every other wise, to ensure successful results in the long run. There should be freedom to voice every opinion and it is left to the team leader to choose the opinion(s), relevant to the course which they pursue. The Bible says "a house divided against itself can not stand". Enyama is a great asset to Nigeria, so also Oliseh. I hope both parties would drop their pride and reconcile. |

http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/oliseh-replies-enyeama-stop-lying-against-me/ Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh granted an exclusive interview to the Nigeria Football Federation Youtube channel to put the record straight regarding his row with Vincent Enyeama, insisting that he did nothing wrong… Presented by Completesportsnigeria.com’s IZUCHUKWU OKOSI and ADEBOYE AMOSU: Let start with this tour of Belgium, how would you describe the result of the first game against DR Congo, from your own perspective, the positives and negatives? Well, this tour started on a difficult note for us. First we have a player who withdrew from the squad. I’m talking about Victor Moses who withdrew for precautionary reasons. Then we had to bring in a replacement for him. Then the worst part of the whole thing was the fact we couldn’t bring down the six home-based guys down here on time. These are players we are counting to make an impact in the team. So we had to bring in other players who don’t need visas to join us. We also had to bring in Ambrose Efe. We knew before the game that we were going to have difficulties in central defence due to the absence of Godfrey Oboabona and Keneth Omeruo. So we started the game with a right-back (Leon Balogun) in central defence. Unfortunately, the two goals we conceded came from this side. But if you look at the game, we did well. If you look at the fact Shehu (Abdullahi) was playing in his first game and as a right-back, I think it was something good. If you look at the way we played, then you will give kudos to the players. As a matter of fact I was impressed with John Obi Mikel. He carried the team, he was mobile. He did everything I asked him to do and I like that very much. Mikel took charge of the game and was telling people what to do. I pray he continues like this. I’m also happy with Elderson Echiejile. His positioning was fantastic. He was very good on the ball. We had more possession but unfortunately we couldn’t score on the night. Definitely we have lots of positives to take from the game. On a negative part, defensively we were not so solid. Like I already told you, the cohesion in defence was not there because of the changes. I’m just hoping that Oboabona will get a visa tomorrow (Friday) so that he can join us for the Cameroon game. Okay, let’s talk about your goalkeeper, the former first choice goalie, Vincent Enyeama, called it quits from international football few hours before the game, a lot of people are saying it was as a result of the fall-out with you in camp, what happened between you and Vincent? It’s puzzling, to say the least and I’m very disappointed about the character assassination Vincent has portrayed against my personality. If you want to retire, retire. You don’t have to drag someone else into it. I would like to explain the whole thing in detail. We invited 24 players for the two games. Mikel came in on Sunday and the majority of the players arrived in camp on Monday. I knew because of his mother’s burial that Vincent wouldn’t be able to come around the same day. He came to camp on Tuesday afternoon, around 5.20 or 5.30 pm. We were training when he drove in from Lille. We even took some pictures together as I was happy to see him in camp. But I was not happy with the physical involvements of the players. During the dinner, I spoke about this and I told the players I was not happy with this. At the end of my speech, as I was about to sit down, Vincent stood up and said he wanted to speak and I told him it was not the right time to say anything because we just had a discussion on how to improve and it wasn’t the right time to discuss personal issues. He said no and I refused. I told him ‘I don’t want you to say anything for now. If you want to discuss any personal issue, you can come to me and we thrash it out’. He was adamant and wanted to say something. I told him ‘with all due respect, I’m the coach of this team and we don’t have two coaches. I decide who talks or not. If you refuse to abide by what I say it’s better you go out.’ He was still adamant and I told him ‘it is either you go out or we leave the room for you.’ I later said it is either you go out or they take you out because the situation was stopping the team from having their dinner. Eventually his teammates got up and took him out. I told him it is either you stop this or you go home. You can go home, I have released you. You just came and you’re arguing in camp. He just came in and had not had a training with the team. So, I went to my room and five of his collegues: Mikel, Emmanuel Emenike, Ahmed Musa, Ogenyi Onazi and Elderson Echiejile said coach we have spoken to him. They said they know him, that sometimes he talks before he thinks. I said okay he can stay. We are trying to build a new team, he can stay around. Then, the next morning, he came, everthing was settled. He ate breakfast and as we were about to leave for training, I received a message from Nigeria that Vincent said I insulted his late mother. Vincent insinuated and has already made it public that I insulted his mother. I went ahead and addressed the team. This was really bad. It was a blatant lie. I find it difficult to take because you can’t make false accusations where there are a lot of witnesses around. There were 19 players there and four officials. There was no reason to talk about his mother because he just came in to camp. There was nothing to talk about him. He was just trying to make people sympathize with him that he was badly treated. He was the captain of the team. When we played in Tanzania, I called the team administrator, Dayo Enebi, and we arranged for the team to wear black armbands and have a minute silence in honour of Vincent’s late mum. The only reason that was not done was because as Dayo said, the Tanzanians said we should direct our request to CAF and time was too short for us to do that. Dayo is my witness. How would a man that is sensitive enough to decide to honour Vincent Enyeama’s late mother then turn around and insult the same woman? Let me take take you off that track a little bit before we come back to it, many people have said Vincent did not actually react to the fact you dropped for Ahmed Musa as captain of the side. When you were appointed the coach of the side, did you at any time reach out to him on your plans, because some people are saying you never wanted him in the team. That you have already made up your mind you don’t want him as your captain… Before I was appointed head coach of the Super Eagles, Vincent Enyeama had a big rift with the Nigeria Football Federation over a statement he made about Kaduna as venue for the game against Chad. I was not the coach then, but I stood for him because I felt he should not be castigated for representing his teammates. When I was appointed as head coach of the Super Eagles, the first thing I did was to drive down to Lille to watch Vincent train. I spent a whole day watching Vincent train. I took him out for lunch which I paid for. I had a talk with him to intimate him about my plans for the team with him as the captain. I told him about the tactical things we wanted to change, the changes we wanted to make in the team like you do with your captain. When I spoke to him there, he made one statement, he was talking about retiring in a year or two after the Nations Cup. I told him, Vincent, I’m trying to build a team at least for 2018.I don’t need a captain who is thinking of retiring from football or quitting football, while we are building a new team. Nobody does that in football. You wait till your last game and then announce your retirement. I didn’t argue with him over that. Then two weeks ago, Vincent called me to discuss the funeral arrangements for his mother and I told it’s sad what has happened to you, but I wouldn’t be available for the burial but I spoke with the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, and I told Vincent he would be there. While we were talking again, he mentioned the issue of retirement again. That was when I decided to pick Ahmed Musa as captain because I felt there is need to have a new captain who is not going to retire soon. To now take that as something personal is funny. I don’t know Vincent personally and it’s difficult to have grudges with him. But he has been in Super Eagles for a long time… I had already retired from the team before he joined the team. So, it’s not as if I have something against him. We cannot continue like this. If we want to retire, retire and don’t drag others into it and make trouble Let’s come to the Belgium tour, DR Congo is done and dusted, Cameroon is next… First, we allow the boys to have a rest and freshen up. We take the positives from the game against DR Congo. We are just hopeful that Godfrey will get his visa to come around. We need a central defender for the game against Cameroon on Sunday. We are building, we are getting more players and the cohesion is going on well. |

@op. It is too bad that people like you are the reason this world will continue to burn in terror and injustices. I don't know what you stand to gain by picking out some of what Oliseh said and misconstruing it into a hate campaign. Why didn't you give us the full story, so people are well informed before passing judgement? I don't like Oliseh that much personally because I believe he is just a theoretical coach but that doesn't mean I should judge him harshly. Below is what he said on this issue, for those who seeks the truth read and be informed. Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has finally told his own side of story regarding the issues he had with goal keeper, Vincent Enyeama, which saw Enyeama leaving the camp in Belgium yesterday Oct. 8th and quitting the team. In an interview with NFF's media officer, Oluwatoyin Ibitoye, Oliseh said "Its puzzling really because it because to say the least I am very hurt, I am very disappointed at the character assassination that Vincent has taken on my personality as regards this issue. If you want to retire, retire. You don't have to drag and lie and insult somebody who did nothing. I will take you down to when this thing. We called everybody to camp We invited 24 players and most of the players, infact even Mikel came in on Sunday Night. He was supposed to be here on Monday which was very good. and most of the players came in on Monday but I knew Vincent had gone for the burial ceremony of his mum, that he might come in late. He came into camp on Tuesday afternoon by 5.20 or 5.30, just as the training was almost over he drove in from the airport and there are even pictures that we snapped of me hugging him because I was happy to see him back in camp. But when we trained that Tuesday afternoon, I wasn't happy with the physical involvement and input of my players so we had dinner and I spoke to the players and made it clear to them that I wasn't happy and that I needed an improvement for us to play more as a team and that we deserved better and I could see the body language of the players that they were very receptive and were conscious of what it was. Only for me at the end of my speech for me to go to my seat to sit down, was for Vincent to stand up to say he wanted to say something and I told him, look this is not the time to say anything because we just had a discussion about how to improve, we will discuss personal issues after. He said no he wanted to say something and I refused and said No i don't want you to say anything. Please sit down, later you can come to me, we could sought whatever it is out. He said No and he was adamant he wanted to say something. So I told him with all dues respect, this is the Super Eagles and I am the coach. We are not going to have two coaches. I decide who talks and when to talk at a meeting and at the moment I am telling you no. If you refuse to do what I am saying then it is better you go out. He was still adamant and trying to raise his voice and then I said it is either you go out or we leave the room for you or I will get you to be taken out because you are stopping the team from even having dinner and eventually his team mates got up and took him out and said hey come off it Vincent. At one point I told him, its either you stop this now or you can go back home and when he continued I gave him a handshake and told him Now you can go home. I have released you. You just came in, you have not even trained and you are already looking for an argument or problem and so I told him go home. because he had not even had any training session. So I went to my room and 5 of his colleagues Mikel, Emenike, Musa Onazi and Echejile, came to me and said coach we have spoken to him and he is aware. We know him sometimes he talks before he thinking. I said okay he can stay, we are trying to build a team, you can sty. The next morning he came, everything was settled, we ate breakfast. As we were about to go for training, I received a message from back home where Vincent had insinuated publicly that I had insulted the memory of his mother when I spoke to the team and this was really hurtful and a blatant lie and I find it quite, with all due respect, insane because you can't make an accusation, a false accusation when there are so many witnesses as much as 19 players, 3 other officials and there was no reason to talk about your mum because you were just coming into camp. There was nothing to talk about you. So to now try to make a character assassination and try to like make the people sympathize with the fact that he was mistreated against his mum. He was the captain of this team. When we played in Tanzania, I called the team administrator, Dayo, and we had arranged for the team to wear a black band and to have one minute of silence before we play in Tanzania in honor of Vincent's dead mum. The only reason why that was not done was because Dayo came back and said they refused us because we had to have a request for it. CAF made out and the time was too short. So how would a man that is sensitive enough to try to honor Vincent Enyeama's mum now try to insult his mum"he said According to Sunday Oliseh, before he was appointed coach of the Super Eagles, Vincent Enyeama had a big rift with the NFF. He reacted to insinuations that he never wanted Vincent to be captain of the super eagles during his tenure hence he never carried him, Vincent. "Listen, before I was appointed coach of Super Eagles, Vincent Enyeama had a big rift with the NFF concerning the statements he made concerning the pitch in Kaduna. I was not yet a coach. I was in Nigeria and I stood up for Vincent because I felt that he shouldn't be castigated for representing his team mates. When I was appointed as Chief coach of Super Eagles, the first thing I did was to pick up my car very early in the morning, drove and spent a whole day watching Vincent train, took him to Lunch which I paid for. I had Lunch with him to intimate him with my plansto build the team with him as captain of the team. When I spoke to him, I spoke to him about the tactical things we wanted to change the policy changes we wanted to make like you do with a captain. When I spoke to him then, he made one statement. He was talking about retiring in a year or two years time and I told him, Vincent, I am trying to build a team till 2018. I don't need a captain who is thinking of retiring or who is planning for life after football while we were preparing and nobody does that in football. You wait till your last game or your last match then you announce retirement. Let this be out of the agenda. Two weeks ago to this time, Vincent called me to discuss about the funeral arrangements for the Mum and I told him its saddening what has happened to you but I cant be available because of some other reasons but I have spoken to the NFF president and he was going with a delegation. Hesaid he will be there so we will be represented and while we were having this discussion he was talking again about retirement. That was when I decided to pick Ahmed Musa as captain because I felt then that he is probably not into it anymore. Personally I don't know Vincent so, to carry a grudge against a person .."he said . |
