Ilechukwu eyes first-ever NPFL win over Enyimba
MFM FC head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu has said to his team that anything short of victory against Enyimba International FC will amount to failure ahead of this weekend’s game in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Group A leaders, MFM FC will host seven-time NPFL champions on Matchday 13 of the top-flight at the Soccer Temple, Agege Stadium this Sunday as they look forward to recording their first-ever win against the People’s Elephant.
“Enyimba game is very important for us you know we have not beaten them before in our home and away games,” said Ilechukwu in an interview with MFM FC Media.
The young coach talked about the importance of the match to his team’s ambition in the NPFL this season and also shared his knowledge of the opponents.
“It’s a game we must win to remain at the top. We know their antics, we know their strengths and we know everything about Enyimba Football Club. I can tell you their possible line-up.
Oladapo, (Abdulrahman) Bashir, (Thomas) Zenke, Onuwa (Chukwuka) and (Stanley) Okorom may likely start but we have prepared for them. So anything less than three points is failure. We have prepared for the game and we are waiting for them,” Ilechukwu said.
“I am aware that Enyimba is a technical side and also of their unbeaten run. MFM Football Club, we are number one on the log on merit and we are no push over, so come Sunday Enyimba must fall.”
