THE barren draw gained by almighty Al Ahly of Egypt against Enyimba in the first leg semi-final of the CAF Champions League has poisoned the minds of many that the Aba Elephants may have finally come to the end of the road in their bid to win the trophy for the third time. Aware of the apathy, Club Chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu has advised Nigerians and their supporters not to weep for the Club as they go for a mission impossible in the Pharaoh’s land in a fortnight.
Enyimba
“I know that so many people are disenchanted with our draw. I know that they have written us off. Let them go ahead. In short, they should not weep for us”, Anyansi-Agwu who looked rather unruffled after the match said. “I know that we have a big task ahead of us.
This is the type of situation that brings out the best of Enyimba. I know that our away record has not been impressive but we shall survive. The Spartan spirit of Enyimba will see us through. I know that people might be skeptical about my optimism but the end will justify everything”.
He said that Al Ahly, a five-time winner of the CAF Champions League and the Club rated as Africa’s best club played a midfield game that made their defense impregnable.
“They will come out in search of goals in the return leg and that will open the game for us. We have nothing to lose. But I tell you that we shall come out victorious. Anything can happen in football”, the Chairman maintained as he reviewed the game.
He was not alone in this fresh optimism that seems too hard to believe for the tactical team of Ahly that boasts of nine players of the Egyptian National team.
“The team is not one to toy with. Look at the number of players in the team that also play for the national team. It is not out of place if one says that we played against the Egyptian national team. Remember what I told you. People will ask us how we did it after the return leg”.
Also Coach Augustine Eguavoen lent support to his Chairman. “We can get good result in Egypt. I am not disappointed with the play of the players but I am disappointed that we could not get a goal. Eguavoen noted that the transition of Enyimba was slow compared to that of Ahly players. “We are going to work hard for the second leg. We shall put everything into the game to come out triumphant. I tell you that anything can happen in Cairo”, Eguavoen emphasised.
The one clear chance that came the way of the People’s Elephants was nodded off target by Emeka Akwueme in front of goal.
