The three goalkeepers in the camp of the senior national team of Nigeria were made to undergo the usual drill for goalkeepers by the goalkeeper’s coach of the team Alloy Agu.
Agu drilled the goalkeepers for close to 45 minutes with emphasis on grip, reflex and reaction while the other outfield players were engaged in a kick about session among themselves.
Francis Uzoho, John Noble and Maduka Okoye all took part in the session for the entire duration and it was the newly installed first choice Okoye who was magnificent during the drills.
He showed the form that made him keep his spot as first choice of Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam with sharp reflexes and reactions to efforts hit at him by Agu. His grip has also improved a lot.
The duo of Uzoho and Noble also did well but Okoye stood out with his confidence level at his peak. A fallout of the regular run of games he enjoyed in the just concluded season.
