Barely one year after leading Enyimba to a record seventh Nigeria Professional Football League title, Kadiri Ikhana, has disclosed that the team that won the title has been disbanded adding that the new one assembled by coach Paul Aigbogun is yet to blend.
The NPFL defending champions have lost their first two group games in the ongoing CAF champions
league against Zamalek, and most recently their 2-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.
"This Enyimba team is totally different from last season team even with a new bench and players yet to blend compared to their Group B opponents who have been together for four or five years,"
"Sundowns and Zamalek have had time to blend than Enyimba, but that is not to say Enyimba are not a good team."
Ikhana further explained that the Aba Warlords gave their best in the game but was not good enough for their South African counterpart in the midweek.
"Enyimba tried in the last game at Mamelodi Sundowns, but were unlucky to lose the encounter at the end of the day."
"Enyimba are now condemned to win their remaining games to progress after those losses to Zamalek and Sundowns."
"Of course, when you lose two matches in a qualifier it makes it difficult to go ahead and win a ticket."
"However, as we know nothing is impossible in football and that’s why we should not completely lose hope of a positive turnaround. Enyimba can win the two remaining matches and qualify to the semifinals."
