Enyimba centre-back Somiari Alalibo believes the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) game with Shooting Stars on Sunday, May 21 at the Lekan Salami Stadium will be a tough game.
The match is the last game of the regular season for both teams.
Alalibo told Enyimbafc.net that the Oluyole Warriors have been one of the best teams since the second round began.
“They are a good team with an experienced coach and many good players,” Alaibo said
“I know they struggled at the beginning of the season but they have been one of the best teams since the second round began. We played against them in Aba and we know they have quality. Despite the fact that they have nothing to play for, playing against Enyimba is enough motivation for any team.
“I remember when I was at Dakkada, each time we were to play against Enyimba, we would double or triple our preparation. The players, the coaches, the management; everyone would be pushing because there was always a point to prove against Enyimba. I know Shooting will come with the same motivation, so we don’t expect the game to be easy.”
Enyimba are currently placed second in the NPFL Group A table having garnered 31 points from 17 matches.
The People’s Elephants have won the League eight times in their history.
