In an interview with Cafonline, the sweat merchant refused to accept that the goallles draw against Wydad of Morocco in the second leg semi – final match played in Aba is further proof that Enyimba has lost the shine it was noted for.

“We are in a very pensive mood. We lost a match after giving it all our best. It could be a result of combined factors.”

“What I could easily pinpoint was I noticed the players were tired. It was tough playing two league games in four days ahead crucial matches like this.”

“We had to also beg the Federation to put off a match we would have played on Wednesday. In any case, that is what football means. Uncertainty!”
