Coach Usman Abdallah is confident that Enyimba will get a victory in Aba and progress to the next round of the CAF Champions League after a disapointing 1-0 loss to Rahimo FC. He acknowledges that it could have been if the People’s Elephants had conceded another goal.
“It’s not a good result for us but at the same time it’s not catastrophic because if we had lost by two goals or three then it would be a difficult situation.”
Enyimba opened their doors this season, hence the exit and influx of players to the side. Having had experience on the continent, coach Abdallah believes his boys will get better as they progress in the tournament.
“As you know we are all starting and results are always this way until we get ourselves into the competition where we get much fitter.” http://www.bellsnews.com/sports/epl-transfer-drama-nigerian-replaces-luiz-at-chelsea/
Rahimo FC are a young side with exciting players who kept the Enyimba back four busy, with Afelokhai making important saves to keep Enyimba in the game. However, Enyimba have not had much action still struggle with fitness.
“They have a youthful and young team with very good mobility and good techniques and they are very fit.”
Just like he sounds always, confident, coach Abdallah says his boys will have to cancel the goal and score another in Aba.
“The goal came in with a deflection. We could have saved that goal but now we have to go back to Aba and cancel the goal and have to get another one more goal to seal the deal.
“We’ve seen the team now so the most important thing is to go back, sit down and work with what we’ve seen of the team.”
Enyimba FC will return to Aba to prepare for the crucial game to boost their chances of a victory at home
