Enyimba Deserve Continental Place – Anyansi Agwu

Felix Anyansi Agwu believes his players
fully deserve to qualify for continental
football following the draw in Enugu.



Having been fourth on the table for
weeks, Enyimba needed a point against
Rangers to move into third, albeit with
Akwa United
suffering a defeat of their own in Ibadan,
and that worked out just right for The
Elephants.
Had the Flying Antelopes not been
awarded a late and quite frankly a bizarre
penalty, Enyimba would have won and
ultimately done the unimaginable, qualify
for the 2018 CAF Champions League
playing outside Aba the entire season.



Regardless, Anyansi Agwu says his club
are fully deserving of their position on the
table: “Yes, we merit a continental ticket
because we have worked very hard this
season,” he told EnyimbaFC.net.



“We fully deserve to represent Nigeria on
the continent given our performances this
season.”



“Our position on the table is not because
we played well against Rangers, no. It’s
because we have worked extremely hard
since the start of the season. It is why we
are where we are today. We could have
been talking about a second place finish,
but now we are in third and will finish the
season in third, with the full commitment
of the team.



“Everybody has been focused this season,
focused and determined and we are
benefitting from it. Despite playing in
Calabar, the team has shown a strong will
and here we are, in third place with one
match to go.”
