Players of
Rangers International FC of Enugu have said that the home win against El-Kanemi
of Maiduguri have put them in a psychological victory ahead of the match day
four of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash against Akwa United
in Uyo on Wednesday.

Antelopes defeated Borno Army 1-0 courtesy of Bobby Clement’s 67 minute goal in
the match day three game on Sunday.
The club’s
media officer, Foster Chime revealed that the players have shifted their focus
to Akwa United encounter and resolved to pick the maximum points to maintain
their winning formula.
According to the players, the away draw with
Nasarawa United followed by the victory over El-Kanemi have brought back their winning
mentality and geared them towards reclaiming the number one spot in the league
as the reigning League Champions.
The players believe that the return of the
likes of Chisom Egbuchulam, Odah Onoriode and Ugwu Nwadiegwu will propel them
to another league title this season.
The club’s
technical adviser, Imama Amapakabo described Rangers’ 1-0 victory over
El-Kanemi on Sunday as a morale booster for his players to confront Akwa
United.
An optimistic Amapakabo said that “the issues
of goal scoring will soon be a thing of
the past as the technical crew is
leaving nothing to chance in correcting the problem of missing scoring chances
even when a lot of chances were created.”
Imama
believes that the lapses observed in the team’s first two games will be
corrected in the subsequent matches as he assured Rangers fans that the club
will continue its winning feat.
