As Enyimba FC prepares to face Kwara United at the Ilorin Township Stadium on Monday, January 27, 2024, Head Coach Stanley Eguma is urging his team to adopt a fresh tactical approach to revive their NPFL campaign.
Following a disappointing outing in Kano, Eguma remains confident in his squad’s ability to secure a crucial victory in this rescheduled Matchday 16 fixture.
The former Rivers United boss is determined to turn things around and believes a shift in strategy could be the key to reigniting their season.
Speaking to Enyimba Media, Eguma outlined his vision for the high-stakes encounter, stating: “It’s a completely different ball game, and we’re coming in with a new strategy. This is an important match, and three points are at stake. We can’t afford to give up now. We’ll work hard, fix our mistakes, and aim for a positive result.”
The match comes amid a challenging run of fixtures for Enyimba, who are set to play six matches in just 12 days, including a highly anticipated Oriental Derby against Heartland FC. Despite the demanding schedule, Eguma is undaunted, expressing confidence in his team’s ability to overcome adversity.
Since taking charge, the experienced tactician has been working to align his philosophy with the team’s dynamics. Reflecting on the process, he shared:
“I’m still getting to know the team, and they’re learning to understand my style. The players have quality, but there are areas we need to improve to achieve better results.”
A win in Ilorin could be the spark Enyimba needs to kickstart their campaign and position themselves as strong contenders in the second stanza. However, Kwara United, also eager to climb the table, promises to be a formidable opponent.
All eyes will be on the Ilorin Township Stadium at 4 PM on Monday, as Eguma’s reenergized squad looks to display the resilience, grit, and tactical brilliance that have long been the hallmark of Enyimba’s legacy.
For the People’s Elephant, the path to redemption begins now—there’s no room for error.
