Nigerian goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama believes he can be the best goal keeper in the world.
Enyeama’s statistics are frightening this term as he has conceded goals in only two of Lille’s eleven league games in Ligue 1.
The shot-stopper kept another clean sheet on Friday as Lille beat Nantes 1-0 on match day 11 but he is not resting on his laurels even as Les Douges now sit in 2nd place in the league standings.
“It’s about work, work and even more hard work. I believe in hard work,” he told the club’s official website, www.losc.fr.
Enyeama is certainly enjoying the best spell of his professional career and he took the time to explain the steps he has taken to get to the top.

Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers has allayed fears over the first-team future of Nigerian winger, Victor Moses.
Moses was an unused substitute in the Reds' 4-1 win over West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Saturday.
Brazilian, Lucas Leiva was drafted in as Moses’ replacement but Rogers has now moved to clarify the situation insisting that his Nigerian dynamite has not lost his place in the first-team.
Liverpool’s comprehensive win coupled with the side’s impressive all-round display has now raised eyebrows in some quarters with some questioning the ability of Moses to force his way back to reckoning in the first-team.
Rodgers however insists Moses is still part of the first-team.
“Moses has obviously done very well for us since his arrival on loan from Chelsea. I only dropped him (from the team that beat WBA) for tactical reasons. He’s still very much part of the first team,” he told ITV.

Moyes enjoys late victory

---

It is unlikely David Moyes has had time to read Alex Ferguson's latest autobiography yet but the way his Manchester United pulled a victory from the jaws of defeat on Saturday was straight out of the old master's manual. Trailing 2-1 at home to Stoke City in the 78th minute the black clouds looming over Old Trafford looked ominous for Moyes who was staring at a fourth defeat in nine Premier League games since taking over from the retired Ferguson.
Then Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez, just as they so often did under Ferguson, dug United out of a hole.
Rooney equalised with a glancing header and with sighs of relief still echoing around the stadium, substitute Hernandez met a curling Patrice Evra ball into the box with deft header two minutes later to break Stoke's hearts.

Sundowns had their first sight at goal in the 13th minute when explosive winger Khama Billiat tried an audacious strike when he nearly caught out City keeper Modiri Marumo from way out on the right flank, but the ball just brushed the outside of the roof as it went over the target.
