Niger Tornadoes head coach, Majin Mohammed, is calm after his side earned a point off Enyimba in their 1-1 draw in Wednesday’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixture at the Enyimba Stadium in Aba.
Majin acknowledged that playing against the People’s Elephant “is not always easy,” as they full of quality and “experienced players.”
“It is not always easy playing against a team of Enyimba’s calibre, parading experienced players and and managed by a professional,” he said after their match.
Majin further pointed out that Enyimba are a top side and that is why they remain in the NPFL club in CAF club competition this season.
He added that he had to drill his team “adequately” ahead of the match.
The Niger Tornadoes trainer said taking a point away from Aba is something he views as “a win.”
“They are only the surviving Nigerian team on the continent, so we knew what we are coming to face. That’s why we prepared adequately for the game, so I am not surprised with the result. In fact this result is like a win for us,” he said.
Majin switched his focus to their upcoming match at home against Rivers United billed to hold on Monday.
He is aware that they are yet to win any match at home and now hopes they end that poor run since returning to their Bako Kontagora Stadium home ground in Minna.
“Well, against Rivers United, I’ll continue to appeal to the home fans to be remain calm and patient with the boys, we will continue to put in effort towards breaking our home drought,” Majin said.
Majin and his men hold the best record on the road so far in this NPFL season after taking seven points from 12 (W2 D1 L1).
