The four goalkeepers in the camp of the senior national team of Nigeria were all part of yesterday’s training session as the team step up their preparation for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Maduka Okoye, Francisco Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi and John Noble joined the players in doing the usual fitness drills before undergoing a different type of drill under goalkepper’s coach Alloy Agu.
Agu took the goalkeppers on reaction and reflex drills before having them work the ball with their feet to polish their distribution from the back. A warmer was set as the target for all four goalkeppers.
Akpeyi was the most successful as he hit the target with three of his four efforts, surprisingly even with his left foot he still got his attempt on target. Next to him was Uzoho who succeeded with two of his efforts.
Noble didn’t get any of his shot on target with Okoye who is tipped to be first choice hitting the target only once but did show amazing reflexes during the course of the drills.
