CCC: Abalogu charges Enyimba’s teammates to brace up and fight

Enyimba captain, Andrew Abalogu, has urged his teammates to rise to the high standards that are required in the CAF  Confederation Cup.

The People’s Elephant were beaten 2-0 in their group D  opener against Hassania Agadir in Agadir, Morocco last
Sunday, with the two times African champions rendering a  below par performance.

The result has left Usman Abd’Allah’s side bottom of the  group’s early standings after San Pedro FC and AC Paradou shared points in the other fixture.

The second round of matches come up this Sunday, with  Enyimba having the chance to return to track against San Pedro in Aba.

Abalogu has now charged his mates to produce the level of  intensity that is required to succeed at the continental
level when they come up against the Ivorian side.

“It’s difficult to play on the continent because the  standard is higher, that’s why we have to step up in our
next game,” Abalogu told the club’s media.

“In the league you play against teams that you are used  to, but on the continent it’s against top teams from
different countries, that’s why it’s more difficult.

“We had a very bad game in Morocco, and everyone is still  angry about it. We know the fans will expect something  better on Sunday, so we’ll try our best.”
