Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has revealed that one of the biggest problems he's had to face in France is mastering the French Language.
.
The 31-year-old has been in great form this season with Lille OSC where he has conceded in just three of the club's 17 league games this season.
.
Enyeama reckons his French will improve remarkably in the coming days but admitted that he still struggles to communicate in the language.
.
"I am not yet fluent in the (French) language. I am still learning the language and by the help of God, I should be fluent by the end of the season," he exclusively said.
.
Enyeama will return to Ligue 1 action on Sunday when Lille welcomes Bastia to the Stade Pierre- Mauroy on match day 18.
.
It would have turned out to be a historic day for the Nigerian as he was expected to break Gaeten Huard's long standing record by keeping a clean sheet against Bastia for 52 minutes.
.
He lost the chance to break that record last Sunday when Lille lost 0-1 to Girondins Bordeaux at the Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas on match day 17.
.
The former Enyimba goalkeeper did not however let his head drop and stated at the post-game press conference that failure to break the record did not represent the end of the world to him.
.
"Honestly, I was never even thinking about the record," he said.
.
He also maintained that enjoying life on the pitch during matches is most important to him.
.
"When I'm on the pitch I just enjoy myself. If I concede a goal, it's ok.
.
"I knew everyone had been waiting (for me to concede), so it made me smile.
.
"I think my teammates wanted to see me beat the record, but I will go into the game against Bastia only thinking about winning. This defeat is just what happens in football, life goes on," he said.
.
Enyeama is fast carving a niche for himself as one of Africa's best goalkeepers ever.
Vicent Enyeama is capable of shining where he is in this world because he is a unique goalkeeper anytime anyday.
