Enyimba technical adviser Emmanuel Deutsch is confident his side can secure a positive result when they face Doma United in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday three fixture at the Pantami Stadium on Saturday (today), reports Completesports.com. The People’s Elephant are seeking their first victory of the campaign after suffering a defeat to Niger Tornadoes in their opening league game of the season.
Doma United will provide the opposition as Enyimba look to get their campaign back on track. Deutsch believes the encounter will provide an opportunity for Enyimba to show a different side of themselves. The tactician said the team has prepared well and is fully focused on the challenge ahead. “I think that this game tomorrow will show a sign, a new face of Enyimba.
For tomorrow’s game, we are calm for the game, the pitch will show this reality,” Deutsch told the club’s media. He also praised the hospitality the team has received in Gombe, noting that there have been no major distractions during their stay. “We got good accommodation, good hospitality in Gombe, there are no distractions.
But the only distraction that I’m not happy about is at home.” The Enyimba coach also expressed his frustration over what he described as distractions surrounding the club, particularly reports and discussions on social media and in the media. “If you see everything happening in the papers and on the internet, we can’t imagine the kind of power some people want,” he added.
Deutsch stressed that such distractions could have a negative impact on the players’ mentality, while commending the club chairman for his efforts to support the squad. “There’s a chairman there, you can cooperate with him and work. Because the distractions affect the mentality of the players.”
