MFM must beat FC IfeanyiUbah to save our Career, Onuwa cries out

Mountain of Fire and Miracle Football Club (MFM FC) midfielder, Onuwa Chukwuka has described this weekend's Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Match Day 38 clash with FC IfeanyiUbah as a career defining match for players of the Lagos based team.

MFM FC hosts the Anambra Warriors at the Agege stadium in a match the outcome will impact both teams either way. MFM FC must win and hope that results in Jos and Umuahia goes negative for rival relegation threatened sides, Heartland of Owerri and Abia Warriors. On the other hand FC IfeanyiUbah needs the result to play on the continent. .

A mid season slump affected the Olukoya Boys as dropped points at home and a poor away record combined to see MFM FC struggle through successive match days and Onuwa in a chat with npfl.ng believes that their season will be defined by the result of the game against FC IfeanyiUbah.

"This is the last match of the season for all of us and it is a must win. Our lives and career depend on this game, we cannot afford to lose this match because we do not want to disappoint our fans, families and management."

"We started the season brightly but at some point, our inexperience in the premier league showed. Don't forget this is our first season in the top flight. We have learnt our lessons and we pray God will crown our efforts with success"

MFM FC currently occupy the 17th position with 42 points same number of points as Warri Wolves and know that their job is not made easier with FC IfeanyiUbah needing the result in Lagos to guarantee a place in the lucrative CAF Champions League if results elsewhere go against their continental ticket seeking rivals, Rivers United.

Onuwa says he is not perturbed by the pedigree of their more illustrious opponents. "It is true that IfeanyiUbah will be looking to get the result in Lagos but I believe that we have all it takes to beat them .We are more psychologically prepared for this challenge. We have increased our training routine knowing that this is the game of our lives. We are not interested in FC IfeanyiUbah as we just want focus on ourselves"

The former Heartland midfielder said the management has provided necessary support for the team:  "The management has been wonderful that is why we want to get the result for them. The General Overseer prayed for us and management led by Godwin Enakhena has provided all the support needed. We are not being owed and as players we owe this football club the result on Sunday.”
