They are aware that if they mount pressure on us and do not watch their defense, we can capitalize on that and it would be bad for them. We too are conscious of the fact that, we have to absorb all their pressures for our face be to full of smiles at end of the game.” “Kano Pillars is a very strong team, playing at home with their supporters behind them will do a lot to see that they do well, it will be tough to beat them at home. Well, we are aware of this, so we are putting everything into consideration to come out with a good result in Kano.” “You can not take away anything from a team as traditional as Kano Pillars which commands a great fan base. We recognize this fact, so we going there with the aim of doing our best. You know they lost their last game in Offa against Kwara United which they conceded a late goal through penalty; they will be playing this weekend game like a wounded lion.” “Their consistency in the league is enough for us to know we have to prepare hard because they are not a push over”, he said.
