Governor slams Enyimba

Minutes after their hard earned 1-0 victory over the Enugu Rangers International FC in a rescheduled premier league match at the Enyimba International Stadium, players and officials of the African champions were tongue lashed by their sole sponsor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, the governor of Abia state for what he described as exhibition of low quality football by the Aba warlords.
The governor who was visibly angry with his boys while addressing them at the dressing room after the match saw the 1-0 defeat against Rangers as a non commendable feat warned the team against a repeat of such performance especially now that the team is gunning for unbeaten record leadership of the premier league.

According to the governor who it was said invited his European friends to come to watch the explosive encounter and experience the Enyimba fire, insisted that football is a business and for him to continue pumping millions of Naira into the team, a performance that will guarantee profitable returns must be assured.

"I cannot continue spending so much money without returns. That's no good business".

He warned the technical crew led by coach Okey Emordi with a fierce pointing of finger against condoning indiscipline in the team as he was reliably informed that some of the players don't turn up for training.

"You must report any player that fails to turn up for training and I will collect whatever paid to him in full. I will all my money 100%. Anybody that wants to make it in life must be discipline. I will not condone any further act of indiscipline from any body"

Great thread. I've always loved African football.

It's only a matter of time before Enyimba loose their captain/GK. He is good no doubt, and once he learns how to deal with crosses more effectively he might be snatched by a larger European side. Especially since he is a nigerian national.

Great thread. I've always loved African ....

you what mate? I thought I was hellucinating

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Only if he doesnt get big headed and say i want more more or i wanted to go to a bigger club or im to good to be on the bench then he will get somewhere in europe

 

[mhflierman]

It was just a certain "someone" abusing his power in a rather pathetic attempt to be funny.

 

[ZamundaMan]

Hahahahaaa, too funny for sure. Just change it to how it was, might as well yo just for jokes.

As for Enyimba, they got some tough draws in the African CL this year. Raja Casablanca and Al Ahly in the group stage.

ps. thas a grimy as$ competition for sure, got grimy lookin Africans rockin Byern Munich Jerseys, and t-shirts and sh1t. They really gotta get sorted out. Its sad and funny at the same time.

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Enyimba get tough draw

Title holders Enyimba were handed two tough north African opponents in their African Champions League group at the draw in Cairo on Saturday, pitted against Al Ahly of Egypt and Morocco's Raja Casablanca in group B.

There will be a potential explosive all-Tunisian clash in the other group where Esperance and Etoile Sahel are paired together.

Champions League - Group A
Al Ahly (Egypt)
Raja Casablanca (Morocco)
Enyimba (Nigeria)
Ajax Cape Town (South Africa)

Both the Egyptian and Moroccan outfits are among the four teams in Africa this year with Al Ahly decisive in winning their domestic championship with an unbeaten run and Raja on course to defend their title in Morocco.

But Enyimba's confident chairman Felix Anyansi declared his side were still confident of a record-breaking third successive title.

"It is a tough draw but then any draw we would have had would have been tough," he told the BBC.

Champions League - Group B
ASEC Abidjan (Ivory Coast)
Zamalek (Egypt)
Esperance (Tunisia)
Etoile Sahel (Tunisia)

"Our team is a relatively new one, we got rid of the complacent players but we are unbeaten in the premier league and this is what makes us confident."

The other team in group B is the South African newcomers Ajax Amsterdam.

In group B, Zamalek and ASEC Abidjan play the two Tunisian sides.

Confederation Cup - Group A
King Faisal Babes (Ghana)
Fello Star Labe (Guinea)
Royal Armed Forces (Morocco)
AS Marsa (Tunisia)

Esperance and Etoile share a bitter rivalry, evidence by the fact that Etoile, despite being top of the Tunisian league standings at the time, fired coach Ammar Souayeh after Esperance beat them on post-match penalties in a Tunisian Cup tie.


Confederation Cup - Group B
Arab Contractors (Egypt)
Ismaili (Egypt)
FC 105 Libreville (Gabon)
Dolphin FC (Nigeria)

Enyimba and Etoile, who played in last year's final, were the two seeded sides at the draw, which was conducted by legendary Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed Shoubeir.

In the African Confederation Cup, Egyptian clubs Arab Contractors and Ismaili were drawn together in the same group.

[ZamundaMan]

Fvck that, away games in Nigeria don't count, the refs mess up the results. They are too afraid of their lives to call descisions against home teams.

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

They do count its just that u always hear the bad things about the african game.

 

[ZamundaMan]

Because its SH1T!!! Drop African pride for a min, and compare African game, to say, South American. Everything, from tactical organization to infastructure.

Raw talented individuals, if not propelled in the right direction, will be nothing more than a fancy street football.

Seriously though, African football got a long way to go before they reach par with South American, especially in sub saharan Africa. They need more money put into the sport, domestic leagues are crap. Fvckin try watching a domestic game, its like someone is using a home made camera, and some grimy commentators spewing pigeon English that only they understand.

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Man quit hating on the african game we all know that they have major promblems but what place on this earth doesnt. So dont come here and keep insultin africa.

Oh, you must be the one that holds the home made camera.
Didn't mean to hurt you
