Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has opened up on how he was treated by the national team.
Enyeama became one of Nigeria’s best goalkeepers during his playing day and was recognised for his shot-stopping abilities.
The ex-goalkeeper made his debut for the Super Eagles in May 2002 and went on to make 101 appearances for the national team.
After a long-lasting career as a goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama decided to hang his boot in October 2015.Enyeama’s comment on his National team treatment
Vincent Enyeama stands in as one of the best goalkeepers the Super Eagles have ever had in history.
However, his departure from the national team after many years of sacrifice was not befitting for a goalkeeper of his standard.
The 41-year-old recently spoke in an interview about how he was treated which made him block every access to the team.
He was asked if his unexpected exit from the Super Eagles contributed to the sharp drop in Nigeria’s goalkeeping department.
Enyeama said in an interview with HotSports, “Sincerely, I have not been following Nigerian football right from the day I left.
“With due respect, I was treated like a piece of used material, so I put up a block between me and the national team.
“It is now that I am beginning to follow what is going on but I really put a stop to watching football or watching the national team.
“I was deeply hurt but now I am really at ease. I have moved, I’ve changed chapters, I’ve changed the page.
“ This is it, I can’t really say much about the national team and the goalkeeping and all of that because I am not watching them.”.
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles’ goalkeeping problem continues as Nigerians call out Francis Uzoho for his poor performances.
