Ejide To Lead Eagles Tonight In Miami. by fatdon2(m): 12:49pm On Nov 14, 2012 |
Israel-based goalkeeper, Austin Ejide, has been named as the skipper of the Super Eagles in the international friendly against Venezuela at the Marlins Stadium in Miami, Florida, United States of America. Coach Stephen Keshi said after critical consideration, he decided to hand Ejide the armband for the match. Indeed, Ejide first joined the national team from Gabros of Nnewi in the run-up to the Korea-Japan 2002 World Cup, alongside Vincent Enyeama, Justice Christopher and others. In the meantime, Newcastle United of England’s longest serving player, Shola Ameobi, has said he is simply delighted to be part of the Nigerian set-up for the first time and hopes it turns out well on Wednesday (Thursday morning in Nigeria). Ameobi spoke after dinner on Monday night on arrival from England. “It’s good to be here and I will learn to speak Pidgin English as the players have directed,” he joked after his former Newcastle teammate Obafemi Martins challenged him to start speaking in Pidgin English, which Keshi has adopted as the official language each time the team is in camp. Also happy over his call up is Bright Dike of MLS side Portland Timbers in the United States, who was the last to join camp. Dike said at breakfast on Tuesday morning that it was a dream come true for him to be part of the Nigerian set up. www.completesportsnigeria.mobi/readNewsItem1.php?nid=1928
