Enyimba International FC’s Technical Adviser, Coach Yemi Olarenwaju, says the club is poised to pick the three points against their visiting sister-clubside, Rangers International of Enugu on Tuesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Enyimba will play host to Rangers International FC in the rescheduled Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match day 15 at the Enyimba Stadium, Aba.
Addressing newsmen in Aba on Monday, Olarenwaju said that Enyimba considered the match important, hence would be going out for the three points.
He said, “The game against Rangers is an important one, given the rivalry between the two clubs.
“This is not a game we would look down on and, as a coach, we have to emphasise to the players what is at stake, what the game means for the club.
“It is unfortunate that we did not get the desired result in the continent, so we have to focus on the league before our next game in the continent.
“We have one or two injury worries from important players but we have to overcome the injury and carry on from there.”
NAN reports that Enyimba FC is on the eighth position on the table with 20 points after 12 matches, while Rangers occupied fourth with 23 points after 14 matches. (NAN)
