Angry Lille Coach On Enyeama: When I Arrived, Where Was He?
Published: April 26, 2018
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday ahead of the Ligue 1 clash vs Metz, Lille coach Christophe Galtier has explained that Vincent Enyeama was frozen out of the first team picture before he arrived the club.
In a conversation with supporters of Lille who had filmed him without his knowledge last Saturday, Galtier had said that Enyeama's predicament was a result of the goalkeeper's poor relationship with the leadership of the club but the manager is now singing a different tune.
''I am going to answer you very precisely, even if I did not want to discuss this topic, but we are there ... Very well ... If I'm wrong, you cut me off,'' Galtier told reporters.
''When I arrived, Vincent Enyeama was where? You saw Vincent Enyeama train with the professional group this year - never, so when I arrived, where was he, with the reserve, and then he was injured.
''He trains when he can and he plays when he can play. Regarding other players, I have never been forced to play a player, it's very clear.''
Lille's two goalkeepers Mike Maignan and Hervé Koffi have failed to convince, with 58 goals conceded, and the club are in the relegation zone four matches to the end of the season.
