VINCENT ENYEAMA Blames Team For Defeat

Maccabi Tel Aviv's goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was caught on camera making an obscene gesture after Monday's 1-3 painful loss to Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The defeat suffered by The Yellows was the first dropped points of the 2012 - 2013 season and leaves the club in second place, three points behind MS Ashdod, who parade the Nigeria left back Juwon Oshaniwa.

Sports Walla quoted Enyeama as saying after the game: ''According to the result it seems that nothing went well for us. You could say that nothing was good. Well lost, also have conceded three goals and it could have been eight or nine, then we lost and everything went wrong., But that's okay, it's part of football.''

Vincent Enyeama was vilified by the Nigeria Press and fans for his schoolboy errors in away games with Malawi and Liberia. Against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the Nigeria numero uno conceded three goals through set-pieces.

''It happens, really. Part of the game. After you concede three goals like that, you've got to prepare, for it will not happen again in games to come. If we think now, thought is not good, it will not help to us,'' says Enyeama to the Israeli website.

Asked for his comments on who to blame for defeat, Enyeama admitted: ''I do not blame any player for losing. I blame the team. We play 11 players with a yellow shirt, so we belong to the same team. We lose as a team. Maybe the defense was not good enough this time, so we suffered three goals, no problem, we will work on it. We still have lots of games to play and we have to check again and again video where we went wrong and what we did wrong. "
