Vincent Enyeama is unarguably one of the best persons in the Nigerian squad at the ongoing World Cup in Brazil. In an interview with Africanfootball.com, the goalkeeper says he expects a heavy bombardment from Bosnia-Herzegovina in their game on saturday. The 31-year-old Lille shot-stopper pulled off a game-defining save in the first half to ensure Nigeria drew 0-0 with Iran in their opening game at the World Cup on Monday.
And he said he expects a lot of shots from debutantes Bosnia, who are widely regarded as “a team of strikers” led by Manchester City star Edin Dzeko.
Enyeama told africanFootball.com, “I was on holidays for most part of the game against Iran, but it would definitely be different against Bosnia, but I’m ready.
“I know they have a more vibrant attack (than Iran) and won’t sit back like Iran did against us. They will come at us and just like us; they need the game to forge ahead.
“A goalkeeper can always keep his team in a game and that is what I will do against Bosnia.
“I am looking forward to this game.”
And many Nigerian fans still recall with pride Enyeama’s heroics against Argentina at the 2010 World Cup when he shut out Lionel Messi even though the South Americans eventually won 1-0.
