Nigeria goalkeeper trainer Ike Shorunmu must be rubbing his hands in glee.
For the Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer, this must rank among the best of times for him, with his top two goalkeepers excelling in
Europe.
First choice Vincent Enyeama is chasing the French record for clean sheets, having seen his net unshaken for 945 minutes. Another four minutes against Marseille, and he will slide past PSG's Salvatore Sirigu's 948 minutes.
But he will still be some two games behind the overall record.
Not to be outdone, second choice Austin Ejide is doing his own bit to make the goalkeeping battle interesting.
Ejide has run up 6 clean sheets for Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Israel, a run which has taken them top of the table with 24 points.
Both goalkeepers are enjoying their best spells in Europe since breaking into the national team at around the same time back in 2002, although Ejide made his debut a few months earlier than Enyeama.
Shorunmu is thrilled. "I must say I am very proud," he told GVIP.
"To have two goalkeepers showing this kind of form can only be good for Nigeria.
"They deserve all the praise they get because they have been working really hard and I pray they stay injury free, and we will see the best of them at the World Cup"
This guys just need only to give a litle or litle less than clean sheet performance at the world cup, and their names would be writen in gold in Africa and Abroad... all the same they both deserve cudose
