Enyeama Hint At Eagles Return – Never Wanted To Do This But I Don’t Have A Choice
October 10, 2017080

Former goalkeeper and captain of the Super Eagles Vincent Enyeama has dropped a hint about a possible return to the team he left after a row with former coach Sunday Oliseh.



[Img]http://i2.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/67EB37C3-E1D4-419F-9EDB-DE398B1FFF12-393-000000174FB4E604.jpg[/img]

Present coach of the team Gernot Rohr has already confirmed a return is on the card for the 35 year old once he is back to full fitness, and also sort out his issue at French side Lille.

Enyeama has recovered from the surgery he had in the summer, but he is yet to get his club future sorted out as new coach Marcelo Bielsa of Lille axed him and ten others ‎from the first team.

Shortly after Nigeria’s qualification for the World Cup, the former captain of the Super Eagles dropped a post on social media, which suggest a possible return to the team soon.

The two times nominee for best goalkeeper in France congratulated the Super Eagles after the 1-0 win over Zambia in Uyo which sealed their qualification for the World Cup in Russia.

DONT MISS ==> Exclusive - Agent Confirms Liverpool Interest In Signing Prolific Nigerian Forward Henry Onyekuru
He later posted another line which suggest a return is near although it could mean something else judging by the call for divine guidance in the post.

” Countdown on. This is massive. Never wanted to do this but I don’t have a choice. Wish me luck”. He posted.


Hope if he returns the captainship issue won't divide the team.

Joebie:
Let's say it as it is. I only remember Ekong and Balogun showing interest before we approached.
Otigba, Alaba, Dessers, Torunarigha (but for his dad), Sennenger also belong to that class.
Iwobi and Aina would have "loved" to play for England. Granted they talked about playing for Nigeria as children. In both cases, invites stopped coming from England, and that factor contributed in us getting them to play for us.

Even Balogun said if Germany came for him it would have been hard to make a decision. And I've been saying this on this thread.. It's not a matter of patriotism at that stage but important difficult professional decision. It's not easy to turn down big countries for Nigeria outrightly. And some of us expect these boys to turn down other countries (when those countries are showing interest in them) for us at the preliminary stage.

Uduokhai's case is no different. If Germany shows seriousness it will be very difficult for us to get him.




I understand your view but do we need to go extra miles in convincing these players like we are still doing with Tammy.

Well if we succeed in sandwiching the Algeria tie between two friendlies as was reported we can do much of our experimenting with the friendlies instead. Then maintain the core of the team as well as cap the "cappable" foreign-breds with the dead-rubber match.

Rohr Set To Hand Full Debut To Chelsea
Loanee Ola Aina Vs Algeria




Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has hinted that
he will hand a full debut to Chelsea defender
Ola Aina in November's World Cup qualifier
against Algeria, with uncertainty surrounding
the fitness of Sivasspor's Elderson Echiejile.

The Monaco loanee suffered an ankle injury
during the Super Eagles workout last
Tuesday, and aggravated the same injury in
the closing minutes of Nigeria's 1-0 win over
Zambia on October 7.

Speaking to reporters at the NFF secretariat
in Abuja, Rohr stated that Echiejile faces four
weeks on the sidelines, and might not be
considered for the game with the North
Africans.

''Already we know that Elderson Echiejile is
ruled out of the game because he is out for
about four weeks due to the injury he
sustained, '' Rohr said, according to
scorenigeria.com.ng.

Ola Aina made his competitive debut for the
Nigerian national team off the bench when he
replaced Echiejile in the 79th minute against
Zambia.

The 21-year-old's preferred position is right
back as he is right-footed.

Movement around the box /positioning is what seperates a good striker from an average one. Watch CR7 and Van nisterooy, top class movement will get you more goals.

Ighalo was too static in that scenario.
I don't just know why people are writing up and down just to defend Ighalo's abysmal performance as regards chances created for him in our last Woed Cup qualifying game against Zambia. Ighalo left a lot of space between him and the defender. Should have closed in on the gap. In TheGoodJoe'S words, he should have attacked the space. His anticipation for that ball was too poor. There was no better way for Simon Moses to have laid the pass. He should have closed in on the gap. He position was poor. Speed poor. Anticipation poor. Haba.

Secondly, looking at the pass Victor Moses gave to him. I had expected him to be smart enough to hit the ball once but once again he allowed the Zambian defender to quickly close in on him. He had two good options to either hit the ball before the defender came calling or drag the ball into his left foot to finish off the job.

Stop defending Ighalo. This kind of performance won't instill fear in the hearts of our opponent.

Kelechi Iheanacho wouldn't have missed that goal due to his excellent level of anticipation, positionOMG and awareness in the 18 yard box.

Go back and watch the replay of our match against Cameroon in Uyo. Onazi was on the ball and K Iheanacho attacked the space with high anticipation to receive the ball from Onazi.

Exactly!! Iwobi's Dad said Iwobi was a bit reluctant to come to Nigeria when he received call up from Nigeria but that he told the young man that they should travel to Nigeria to see for themselves cos of the negative things they had heard.

I am not keen about foreign born players but about the best for the Eagles, however I do understand in a little way that such decisions are not easy to make.

Goodjoe gave an analogy of a girl putting one guy on hold just to see if the one she has her eyes on would marry her. But that's a very imperfect analogy so long as he failed to factor in the fact that the young woman being courted by two guys- with one she has no relationship with other than they are from the same ethnic group, the other guy, though not from her ethnic group, is one with whom she has a relationship, she grew up with him, he played with her, she's emotionally attached to him, he's taught her lots of things, made available for her good the resources he has, he's taken her out for several trainings and vacations. Meanwhile the other guy who is now just coming is one whom she's heard has craw-craw, is very disorganised, loves being crooked etc. The goodjoe would you have your daughter marry the journey just come guy while the other guy is still courting her?
And I'm not talking about your decision going one way or the other but the ease or difficulty in making the decision.
I repeat, such decisions are not easy.

Let me add that the fact is we are a fall back option (when the preferred guy stops showing interest the girl starts considering the craw-craw guy to see if those bad stories about him are true.)

VICTOR MOSES IS MY WORLD CUP JOKER – Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr Reveals

Nigeria won’t have much problems at Russia 2018 World Cup according to coach Gernot Rohr if their star forward Victor Moses stay injury free from now till the period leading to the tournament.

Rohr said the abilities of Victor Moses in playing different roles will come handy to the team in Russia, if he stays fit, and according to Rohr he was the most impressive player during the World Cup Qualifiers.
”The most impressive player in my team is Victor Moses. He is fast, quick in football and I hope he will not get injured before the World Cup in Russia. I have absolute confidence in him”, Rohr said in chat with newsmen.
”For the World Cup, we must build a better team more than better than the qualifying team if we are to do well at the global stage. I also need the experience players “, he concluded.
Moses who plays as a wing back for Chelsea, but plays in attack for Nigeria was the top scorer for the Super Eagles who are through to the World Cup with a game to spare after their 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend.
