Enyimba captain, Ajibade Omolade, is confident that his team
are capable of turning the heat against the visiting Club
Africain of Tunisia in this weekend’s CAF Champions
League tie in Aba.
The People’s Elephant skipper vowed to help his club
win the Champions League trophy once again. He promised not
to take chances against the Tunisians on Sunday.
Maurice Cooreman’s men will simply have to win all their
remaining league games, to further boost their chances of
representing the country in the continental fiesta next season.
“I'm happy to be part of this club and to be able to
give my contribution in the race for silverware,” said
the defender.
“Now there are only three local league games left before
the end of the season and we have to get as many points as
possible.
“We are playing well in the Champions League and it
would be important to beat Club Africain on Sunday and then
travel to Tunisia with the awareness that we have to win.”
Enyimba's title defence was dealt a cruel blow when they were
clearly denied victory in their weekend game with JUTH FC,
after Ezenwa Otorogu's 74th minute goal was cancelled by the
centre referee, Odeniran.
Enyimba had beaten the Jos side 2–0 in the first leg
on December 16, 2007.
The crucial Champions League clash with Club Africain will
be played on Sunday at the Enyimba Sports Stadium in Aba.
