Opara Urge Akpeyi To Remain Calm With Kaizer Chiefs

Opara Urge Akpeyi To Remain Calm With Kaizer Chiefs Sampson Adedeji Former Nigeria's Super Eagles and Orlando Pirates of South Africa goalkeeper Willy Opara has urged Super Eahles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi to remain calm with Kaizer Chiefs, BSNsports.com.ng can report. Since the departure of Gavin Hunt, Akpeyi had dropped down the pecking order behind Bvuma and Khune Itumeleng. Speculations continues to surround the future of former Chippa United goaltender with clubs in Europe showing interest in his services. "It is always important to understand that being a goalkeeper is a delicate position and the only way to maintain your place is by making sure that whenever you are called upon you try as much as possible to be at your best. "Do yolegendaryeven when the team is losing 5-0 so that they say if it wasn't for the keeper, we would have conceded 13. "Yes, we are humans, and we are bound to make mistakes, but always seek to not repeat them. Akpeyi must continue being true to goalkeeping by training hard, supporting the one who is playing and making use of his chance when it comes so that you stay in the team. "This was my weapon when I was still playing at Pirates. I never surrendered the opportunity, and he must capitalise on his chance because goalkeeping is the only position where only one can play at a time, unlike outfield players which have situations where even four strikers can all play depending on the situation. "With keepers, it is one at a time and it is important to understand and support the one playing. I don’t think Daniel should even feel that he is not the first-choice because his chance is coming after others. "He must believe in making a difference when he plays. It is important to be calm and never feel inferior. There is no need to feel inferior at Kaizer Chiefs because this is a bog club that will always want to have a strong goalkeeping department," says Okpara.
