Super
Eagles first choice goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, stated that opening
matches are always difficult, but Super Eagles are ready to crush Bosnia
during their next game.
According to Vincent Enyeama, he is battle ready for Bosnia declaring that he will do everything possible to keep a clean slate.
Enyeama who received a lot of accolade for making a brilliant 80th
minute during Iran vs Nigeria match added that the next game against
Bosnia would decide the fate of the country.
The France based keeper said: "I was on holidays for most part of this
game against Iran, but it would definitely be different against Bosnia,
but I am ready for it. A goalkeeper can always keep his team in a game
and that is what I will do against Bosnia. I know they have a more
vibrant attack, they wont sit back like Iran. They will come at us and
just like us they need the game to forge ahead, so that is the match to
watch out for.
"That is the game we need the support and prayer of all Nigerians. This
is not the time to apportion blames on who did what and who did not play
well against Iran. Nigerians should believe in us. The opening matches
are always difficult and now that we are through with it, yes we didn’t
get the best of result, but we must remain focused."
Debutants Bosnia would go into the game against Nigeria pointless after
losing 2-1 to Argentina in their first game. It means that they would
need an outright victory over the Eagles to keep qualification hopes
alive.
The Eagles on their part would also need the encounter, as a victory
would seal a second round ticket alongside Argentina who they meet in
the last game of the group in Porto Alegre.
