“It’s not just about this game to me, it’s about the next seven games. We have 21 points to play for, and we’ll play with everything we have,” Imama told the club’s media.
” This game is not more important than any of the other ones. Even if we win this match and drop the rest, it rubbishes everything that we’ve been able to do.
” Our ambition, as I said earlier, is to get back into the continent, and if we have to do that, these seven games are vital.”
Ready For Enyimba
Imama also reflected on the position of his team on the table.
“It’s been a long season, and we’ve played against every other team, and while playing against Enyimba, we don’t look at the current positioning of teams on the league table, rather, we play every team as they come. So, we’ll approach this game as best as we possibly can”, added the former Nigeria U-23 coach.
