Finidi George’s Enyimba team appeared unprepared and lacked a strategic approach during the first leg of their match against Wydad Casablanca at Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, and this parlayed to the second leg, where they were simply blown away 3-0, losing 4-0 on aggregate.
The Enyimba manager has come out to blame the Nwankwo Kanu-led management team for the debacle. In an exclusive interview with some journalists on Monday, the 1994 Nations Cup winner revealed that the Enyimba management was not intent on doing well, taking into cognisance the recruitment of players, of which he knew only a little.
“Out of 19 new players that were brought in, I had knowledge of only four of them. When I saw the quality of the players that were brought, I called Ifeanyi Ekwueme, the sporting director, and asked what the target for the season was. He said it is just to stabilise in the league, as the focus is to settle down first.
