Petro Athletico of Angola
Coach of Enugu Rangers FC Lawrence Akpokona, has raised the hopes of their teaming fans across the nation as they battle Petro Athletico in the final group game of the CAF Confederation Cup slated for Luanda, Angola this weekend.

Speaking with nigeriasports.com Akpokona optimistically assured that the “Antelopes” would shock Athletico on their home soil on Saturday.

According to him; ““We have complete squad now because those players who traveled to Europe for trials are now back with and I know with their little experience so far we should be able to make it out there.”

Akpokona maintained that Rangers would not leave any stone unturned, saying that they would battle Petro with full force.

Captain of the team Okay Odita also told Nigeriasports.com the players were in high spirit to make sure they won the Confederation Cup.

“We promised our governor (Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani) that we are going to win that trophy for him this year and we will do that because the players are in high spirit to make sure nothing stop the team this time around. And by the grace of God nothing will stop us from fulfilling our dreams,” Odita said.

“We did not play with our full squad against Ashanti Kotoko because some key players traveled abroad on trials, but thank God they are back now, so we have nothing to fear anymore.

The team departs Lagos Wednesday night to Angola.
