We won’t underrate Namibia – Enyeama

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru, Calabar
Super Eagles captain for today’s match against the Brave Warriors of Namibia, Vincent Enyeama, has said that he does not like to talk of expectations in any match because such will put the team in pressure.

The goalkeeper told Sunday Vanguard sports in an interview  that there are no small teams again in the game of football, so no team should be under rated.

“I’m one of the guys who don’t talk of expectations because when you have expectations, you are promising what you are not so sure of. Nigerians should pray for us because it is a new team we are trying to build, it’s not going to be easy.

“There is no push over now in football, we are going to try but the most important thing is to get the three points needed to push through.

“We have to try with the help of God to get that three points and try at the same time to give Nigerians the football they are craving for. We are not so sure of that but the important thing is to get the three points and keep re-building.

“The rebuilding process is amazing, the coach is doing what Nigerians really want.  We are here to build a strong national team for the country. The coaches are doing their best and a very good work by bringing in a mix of  home-based and foreign-based players at the same time.

“I guess it’s going to be a perfect match but it’s not going to come by easily and I think it’s going to be perfect and amazing at the end.”
