I am fully ready for Bosnia
Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has
said that he expects a heavy bombardment
from Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday and he
will be up to the task.
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 to do a lot more
against debutants Bosnia, who are widely
regarded as “a team of strikers” led by
Manchester City star Edin Dzeko.
Enyeama has proved his class in Europe, but
he faces a stern test against the likes of Dzeko,
who is his country’s all-time leading scorer
with 35 goals from 63 games.
Other proven goal scorers for Bosnia are
Vedad Ibisevic, the VfB Stuttgart forward, who
scored the consolation goal in a 2-1 loss to
Argentina to become first Bosnian to score at
the World Cup.
Hoffeinhem captain Sejad Salihovic is a free
kick specialist having scored three of his four
international goals from free kicks.
Izet Hajrovic from Galatasaray and Edin Visca
of Istanbul BB have also weighed in with their
own fair share of goals.
Enyeama said, “I was on holiday 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.”
