Nigeria’s 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 has 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.”
