“For us, it’s truly a tonic for us not to show complacency and we will try as much as possible to take the dose for the game on us but for us, there’s no small match and big match,” Ogunmodede allayed.
“Just like my name, Ijaball, no room for complacency because it’s a battle and nobody is going to ask you who you fought, they are only interested in the outcome of the game.”
