Former Tremendous Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has claimed that the emergence of Stanley Nwabali as the brand new primary ends the superstition that he cursed the crew.
Enyeama retired from worldwide soccer after 101 caps for Nigeria, following a disagreement with the then-head coach, Sunday Oliseh.
Since his exit, the three-time African champions have struggled to switch him.
With Maduka Okoye not accessible for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and Francis Uzoho not convincing along with his performances, coach Jose Peseiro referred to as up Nwabali for the match.
Regardless of not taking part in any aggressive sport prior, Nwabali impressed because the crew reached the ultimate.
“I feel Stanley (Nwabali) got here in on the proper time; for a very long time, now we have been clamouring for a goalkeeper,” Enyeama instructed Lagos Talks FM, as per Afrik-Foot.
“We didn’t readily have Okoye, and Uzoho had accomplished properly with the nationwide crew, however his type is unlucky.
“I pray he continues on this good type and ends all of the talks about me cursing the nationwide crew or casting a spell on the nationwide crew.
“I obtained a whole lot of nasty messages accusing me of all kinds, however fortunately, Stanley got here in and helped change that narrative by breaking by the ranks.
“I didn’t curse the nationwide crew; if I had the facility to try this, I may have presently modified the financial fortunes of Nigeria.”
