NFF should plead with Enyeama – Taribo


Hehe....i agree ooo....Former Nigeria defender, Taribo West, has called for the return of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to the Super Eagles.The 33-year-old  Lille keeper  retired from the national team following a disagreement  with former  Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh. Enyeama was  during the week ranked the sixth best goalkeeper in the world by football statistics body, CIES Observatory.The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner was also
nominated for the Best Goalkeeper  award in Ligue 1.Taribo condemned the circumstances leading to Enyeama’s retirement from the Eagles, saying the  Nigeria Football Federation should plead with him to return to the national team.“Nigeria is a country where heroes are not  appreciated and it is  painful,” the former Inter Milan player told our correspondent during the week.“Nigerians should beg Enyeama to return to the Eagles and let him retire properly. He is the country’s most capped football player.  It is  evident that he still  has a lot to offer the country.“The Eagles currently lack that leader figure among them and it is evident in the way they are playing. The young players  need to learn a lot from Enyeama. The awards and rankings he got this week  have shown  that he still very good.“Also, apart from Joseph Yobo, who is planning a testimonial for himself with some corporate bodies, no  ex-international has been properly retired and they are all bitter towards the system.
