Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu, the Chairman of Enyimba International Football club of Aba, on Sunday said the team would work harder in the second round of the CAF Champions League match against Etoile Du Sahel of Tunisia to win.
Agwu told the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, that in spite of winning the first leg match 3-0, Enyimba would go to Tunisia with renewed vigour to get a good result.
He said: “We will not go home and sleep thinking that 3-0 is a big win.
“The goals can be cancelled in 10 minutes.
“I think the game is not over yet.
“As it is, three zero in football is not a big win.
“We cannot go and sleep because Etoile is a big team.
“We will go to Tunisia prepared to win and in football, you have to be prepared for every game.”
The chairman said though Enyimba was not favoured to win with a big margin, the team was appreciative of the support from fans.
Anyansi-Agwu added that the team would prepare for the second leg match, knowing that it would be tough when they play in Tunisia.
He said: “We have the experience playing against teams from North Africa and would use such tactics in the second leg.
“We are going to manage them.
“There is nothing to be afraid of.
“We are going there to fight because it is not over yet.
“Three zero, very good result, but it is not over.”
Anyansi-Agwu commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State for assisting the team despite the hard times in the country and assured that the team would not disappoint the state and the country.
He said: “Obviously, the state government has been very wonderful.
“We thank Governor Ikpeazu for his support despite the hard times.”
