Eagles Promises Victory Over Malawi

Super Eagles have promised to pick up the
full points against the Flames of Malawi
when they meet on Saturday. The team
stand-in captain, Vincent Enyeama, who
spoke on behalf of his teammates on
Wednesday, said that the stake was too
high to be toyed with.

He said, "The camp is amazing and I thank
God for that. The first training we had here
was great with 12 players and I am
optimistic that come Saturday we will win.

Almost everybody is in camp now."
And in a reference to the initial
controversy raised by Malawi over the
security situation in Calabar, the goalkeeper
said
that Nigerians should ignore such
statements as everyone who truly knows
the country could vouch for the city as one
of the safest places to be in the world.

He added, "Calabar is one of the most
secured places in Nigeria. I do not really
know where they got the information that
Calabar is not secure. Calabar is also quiet.

But I want the Flames to come out and play
their game, have fun and be happy.
"We are professionals we know what is at
stake and what is expected of us. We are
not under any pressure, we are going out
there to wear the colours of Nigeria which
we are also proud of," he said.
On the competition for the goalkeeping
spot, Enyeama said the zeal to be fielded
has been quite positive as it has continued
to help bring the best out of the three top
goalkeepers. Austin Ejide ,who was on duty
in the country's last match against South
Africa last month, and Chigozie Agbim are
the other two goalkeepers in the team.

He said, "All of us are good and I must say I
am not in competition with any of them
neither are they with me. Nigeria is blessed
with great talents and it's always good
when you are called up to play."
Coach Stephen Keshi said the team was not
under any pressure to beat Malawi.

He said
that the team and the coaching crew
believed in hard work to get the maximum
points.
He said, "I have always believed in hard
work. I do not believe in anything that is
do-or-die. I am not under any pressure. We
are only going to give our best on
Saturday."

The heavy rains of Wednesday in Calabar
prevented the team from training. The
Super Eagles need just a draw in the final
Group F qualifier for Brazil 2014 World cup.
