The coach of Paradou, Francisco Chalo has blamed the 4-1 loss suffered by his club in the hands of Enyimba International Football Club yesterday in Aba, Abia State in a CAF Confederation Cup to hot weather.
Chalo in a post-match press conference noted that unlike in Algeria where the weather is cold, the players couldn’t adapt to the severe hot weather within the days for which they arrived Aba.
He was, however, optimistic that his club would still get to the quarter final of the competition.
Enyimba interim manager, Fatai Osho hailed the resilience and determination of his players in the game.
Osho also praised his players for adapting to the new attacking formation which saw them put three goals pass their opponent goalkeeper in the first half.
Enyimba’s Chairman, Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu also praised the team and said that the sacking of Usman Abd’Allah has nothing to do with the heavy defeat in Jos.
He stressed that many bigger European clubs sack coaches for one reason or the other, adding that Enyimba’s case should not be misinterpreted.
