Enyimba big wigs chorus redemption song

Dreams of mounting the CAF Champion Clubs League victory marble at the end of the season by Al-Ahly, could be considered burst. That is if one can go by the defeafening "we shall be back with a bang" chant echoeing from the team's Aba base in Abia State, Nigeria. The reassurances music, being rendered by the coach Okey Emordi, Team Administrator Anyansi and the god father of the side, Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, is not only loud and clear, but also soothingly rendered in unison.

While the team's administrator heaps blames of their defeat on the absence of three of their key forward liners, "who, after collecting their 100% sing-on fee, as directed by the Nigerian FA, bolted into the blues a few days before the encounter last Sunday",Okey Emordi, chief coach of the Aba Elephants, saw it the technical way and remarked:

"It is not over yet.  We know what is ahead and we have to work harder to achieve our set goal.  The important thing, is to have a set goal, an objective and that, we have.  It's not over.  We'll give all we have to get to success.  We know it and we are ready to give a real fight for it."  For the financial pillar behind the success stories of Enyimba FC, Dr Orji Kalu, who is the Excecutive Governor of Abia State, the story is not different.

"There is no spilling your milk over a home loss.  It is not over yet because, we are ready to give it all it takes to achieve success.  We have an ambition to become the first African team to win the CAF Cup three consecutive times, back to back.  And there is no stopping us in this race," the governor said calmly.

What happened at Aba is an eye opener and also to tell Enyimba Fc that they have to sit up.But I trust Enyimba they will always spring surprises.There is no shaking at all. But let them know that all other teams in Africa is watching and studying Enyimba Fc America is watching out for terrorists.I urge Enyimba to try and score at least 2 goals in any match they play because Character wise if ENYIMBA SCORE 2 goals in any match they will win that match no matter where it is played.So keep that character flowing.

ENYIMBA FC ARE BEGINNING TO TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. THEY SHOULD SIT UP. MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY SHOULD ALSO GO SPIRITUAL BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE SCORED ATLEAST FOUR NEAT GOALS IF MOTHER LUCK WAS REALLY WITH THEM. FINALLY THEY SHOULD PUT THE DEFEAT BEHIDE THEM ANDMAKE UP FOR THE LOSES. WE THE TEAMING FANS ACROSS THE GLOBE STILL BELIEVE IN THEM.

what enyimba has failed to realise that the rest of africa are doing all things to catch up with them , its one thing to win twice which was commendable and highly deserving , but winning for the third time can be herculean, if not impossible, to win for the third time ,most especially with the loss of nearly all the first team players have gone to europe and other african leaugue

NOBODY HAS MONOPLOY OVER SUCCESS.Enyimba mgt and players should have that in mind.They failed woefully hope the put their acts together and learn their lessons.Enyimba's attackers really know how to miss goals ,the technical crew should work on them cos they aren't sharp.Mgt should motivate the boys to enable them go all out and defeat Raja in Casablanca cos one more false step the cup is lost.GOODLUCK.
