Enyeama Apologises To Siasia And Nigerians, on 10th sept.Enyeama Apologises To Siasia And Nigerians, on 10th sept.

Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has apologised to the nation after last week’s spat with coach Samson Siasia. Along with John Mikel Obi and Victor Anichebe, Enyeama had rowed about the team’s mode of travel to Madagascar. A furious Siasia then dropped Enyeama for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, stressing that his act of indiscipline was totally unacceptable. But on Friday, Enyeama said sorry while insisting that his travel plan concerns were ‘completely misunderstood’. Mikel, Anichebe and Enyeama, who plays for French side Lille, had all demanded that the Super Eagles fly on a bigger aircraft directly to Antananarivo, rather than the chartered flight that would stop over in Congo Brazzaville. “My concerns were over safety, comfort and a better treatment in team’s preparation,” the former Hapoel Tel Aviv man told BBC Sport. “What I said and how I went about it probably didn’t go down well with some people – but that was me. “I raised a very sensitive issue, a selfless one in the best interest of the team, but was told of its bad timing. “I felt it was something that was dealt with in- house (but) unfortunately it has been blown out of proportion in the media. “I apologise to the coach, officials and to my colleagues, in particular, and to the nation in general for all that has happened.”
