After the crashing out of Nassarawa united and Warri Wolves from the CAF champions League, coach of Enyimba FC of Aba, Paul Aigbogun is optimistic his boys will scale through despite their loss to Vital’O.
“We came down to Burundi with one aim, to qualify. If we had beaten them here it would have made a positive story, but we didn’t, so we have to not worry about it and instead concentrate on our next games in the competition because we have done the job here,” he told EnyimbaFC.net after the match.
“In this competition, the priority is always to qualify, to qualify, until you get to the group stage. Then after that, you focus on reaching the semi-finals and final. You can’t go in with the mindset of, we have to win every team home and away. No.”
“Sometimes only a draw is needed and then you have to play with that mindset, so you don’t open yourselves up to an embarrassing defeat. We want to go as far as possible in this tournament so we have to be a very organized and disciplined team, a team with an eye on the prize and not be careless.
“Will this defeat affect the team, no. We knew they were going to come out and fight for a win, just for pride so we are not going to drop our heads down and feel sad. We will remain focused and prepare for our next opponents.”
