Record Holder Gaetan Huard: I Tip My Hat To Enyeama
Published: December 05, 2013
Nigeria international Vincent Enyeama is now in second place as the goalkeeper with the longest unbeaten record after Lille defeated Marseille 1 - 0 on Tuesday.
He has gone 1035 minutes without conceding a goal and could surpass retired Bordeaux numero uno Gaëtan Huard, who holds the absolute record of 1176 minutes set in the 1992 - 1993 season.
Gaëtan Huard has spoken about similarities between himself and Vincent Enyeama.
The Super Eagle has not picked the ball from his own net since the 2 - 0 home loss to Nice on September 15.
“I find myself a little in his style, to dive quickly to the feet, close the angle on the attacker and be explosive.
“But there are other coincidences: I, too, have passed the 1,000 minutes against Marseille.
“Enyeama can not reach my record at Chaban-Delmas [on Sunday, ed] and it is in this stage that, I have made mine.
“Moreover, the Girondins tell me they will make the record mine.
“Well, imagining that he did not concede a goal, Lille then welcome Bastia and remember, these are the Corsicans who ended the unbeaten run of Sirigu last season
“I tip my hat (to Enyeama) For now, welcome to the club of 1000. And if he has to beat my record, he explodes,” Gaëtan Huard told metronews.fr.
Vincent Enyeama, who made the shortlist of top ten players in Africa recently announced by CAF, will break the record of Gaëtan Huard if he keeps a clean-sheet against Bordeaux and fails to concede in the first 51 minutes of the home tie with Bastia.
