Revealed! How Enyeama Embarrassed Oliseh Before Eagles Players














Contrary to insinuations, fresh facts have emerged on the row between Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh and Goalie, Vincent Enyeama.
Quoting a source within the team’s camp in Belgium, Completesportsnigeria.com reports that the clash started when, while holding a meeting with the players after their evening training session which Enyeama attended but did not participate in, Oliseh mentioned Ahmed Musa as the team captain.
Enyeama was said to have rudely interrupted the coach’s speech at this point, the Lille keeper insisting that he was the captain, not Musa.
This interruption apparently riled Oliseh, who ordered Enyeama to let him (Oliseh) address his players in peace. But Enyeama continued talking, raising his voice at the coach.
When Oliseh could not take it anymore, he ordered that Enyeama leave the venue of the meeting as he felt the keeper was undermining his (Oliseh’s) authority.  When Enyeama refused to leave, Oliseh asked for the goalkeeper to be forcibly removed from the Verviers Hotel camp by security men.
This is contrary to earlier reports that the battle started because Oliseh shouted down Enyeama while the Lille keeper was trying to explain his late arrival in camp.
“Enyeama was rude to Oliseh, no doubt. Oliseh has so many issues to deal with, especially the inability of six home-based players to get visas to join the squad, and the possibility of Godfrey Oboabona missing the match, and he doesn’t need this additional distraction ” a top official told Completesportsnigeria.com, before corroborating the first source’s narration of events..
“The embarrassment he got from Enyeama in the presence of the other players was uncalled for and disappointing.
“Oliseh just announced that Ahmed Musa remains his captain and Enyeama flared up. He was told his response wasn’t needed by the coach but Enyeama was angered and would not back down.
“Oliseh wasn’t given the respect he deserved. He (Oliseh) is not a saint and might not be completely blameless, but Enyeama should respect the coach; he is the boss,” the source added.
Completesportsnigeria.com source said that Oliseh had no issue with Enyeama arriving in camp on Tuesday instead of Monday, since the coach was aware that the keeper was recently bereaved and buried his late mum over the weekend.
To avert trouble, five senior players in the squad: Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Ahmed Musa, Elderson Echiejile and Emmanuel Emenike, waded in and all went to Oliseh’s room to plead on behalf of Enyeama.
Also there were telephone calls from the Nigerian Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick and even some big Nigerian politicians to have the matter resolved.
There were also hints from the team’s camp that Oliseh was not happy that Enyeama arrived early enough to train with the team on Tuesday, only to spend the entire time chatting with team secretary Dayo Enebi, asking questions about the new players in the squad, while Carl Ikeme was the only other goalkeeper in camp and the team would need two for a full session
