El-Kanemi Warriors technical adviser Ladan
Bosso has urged his wards to heed the wake-up call presented by their 3-1
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) home loss to Akwa United.
Warriors
conceded three goals within 15 minutes of the start of the match to the
surprise of the home fans. Emeka Isaac, Ubong Ekpai and Chigozie Emmanuel
netted the goals before Ibrahim Mustapha scored a consolation late in the first
half in a rescheduled league game on Wednesday.
Bosso, who
admitted that his boys were complacent, said they have learnt their lessons and
would make necessary corrections.
The former
Abia Warriors coach told SportingLife that he paraded the same squad that has
been given the team good results in their previous matches.
“I want to
take responsibility for what happened against Akwa United. It was lack of
concentration from my players and we conceded three goals within fifteen
minutes. When I saw the way things was going I had to make one substitution in
the first half and the team was stabilized, but the deed had already been done.
We got many chances too but we wasted it,” Bosso told SportingLife.
“The good
thing about what happened is that it is happening at the early stage of the
season. There is no cause for alarm because we will surely make amend for the
lost points. The same players we paraded against Akwa United were used to
defeat Enyimba, IfeanyiUbah and Nasarawa United. I think the defeat is a
blessing in disguise to the team. We will continue to push and we will not
relax until we achieve our target.”
This is the second home loss for the Borno Armies after losing its first league game to Wikki Tourists in the week one encounter in Katsina.
