Former Enyimba’s coach, Kadiri Ikhana, believes that
the Aba team could still turn the table against Al Ahly Fooball
Club of Egypt in the CAF Champions League semi-final return
leg in Cairo.
The man, who led the People’s Elephant to glory in 2003
is still optimistic that Enyimba could survive the aggression
of the Egyptians in the second leg.
He recalled how he survived another Egyptian side, Ismaila
FC in 2003 with the Aba Millionaires, and urged the team not
to give up.
"It’s not over until the final whistle, and we
still have the second leg to play. While the situation may
look tough, it’s not impossible to ride over.
"It was a similar case for us in 2003, when we beat Ismaila
2–0 at home and it was like the score line was not wide
enough, but we went to Egypt and got the needed victory,"
he recalled.
The Sharks of Port Harcourt technical adviser saluted the
Maurice Cooreman’s technical crew for what he called
a job well done, and urged them to work on the team’s
attack to make it sharper before the return battle in Cairo.
"The coaches are doing well and I believe they know what
to do. They only need to sharpen the attack line a little
bit and I am sure victory will come their way," Ikhana
stated.
