Vincent
Enyeama believes the criticism he has received in his international
career have been largely fuelled by tribal sentiments not because of his
performance in-between the sticks.
The
former Enyimba keeper came under the spotlight severally in 2012 after
making a series of costly errors in high profile matches for the
national team and he believes his critics have been vocal because he is
not from one of the three major tribes in Nigeria.
The 30-year old Super Eagles safe hands is from Akwa Ibom state, South-South Nigeria.
“My
critics will remain as long I am still with the national team. I am
criticised because I am not Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo but I am not worried,”
Enyeama said in a recent interview.
The
Maccabi Tel Aviv shot-stopper however holds no grudge against those who
have slammed him in the past insisting that “Critics make the game
sweet so why should I be angry? When they criticise me, they only make
me stronger so I give them thanks.
“I also thank God for giving me strength,” he concluded.
