ENYIMBA chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu has sounded a loud
warning to his players and technical crew that in spite of a 3-0 first leg win
over Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia, much work still has to be done to pick the
lucrative group stage ticket.
“We are happy that we won the first leg but the job is
not done yet. We still have 90 minutes to battle out in Sousse (Tunisia) for
the ticket. We are not celebrating just yet until we return from Tunisia,”
Anyansi told Cafonline.com.
“Football is very unpredictable so we are going to
approach the second leg as if it is a final. Who says we can't concede three
goals if we fail to prepare adequately.
We are going to work round them and be one of the teams in the group
stage of the competition,” he added.
The reigning Nigeria champions took a giant leap towards
appearing at the lucrative group stage of the competition for the first time
since 2011 thanks a hat-trick from on-form forward Mfon Udoh.
Enyimba, champions in 2003 and 2004, are the surviving
Nigerian side in the continental club championship and travel to Sousse to face
Etoile in the return on Wednesday, 20 April 2016.
The winner qualifies to the group stage of the premier
continental club championship with the winner dropping to the second-tier CAF
Confederation Cup.
