As Ifeanyi Uba Utd. host Enyimba
Gabros right full-back, Chibuzor Okonkwo has said his side will not pay any undue respect to oriental neighbours and two-time African champions, Enyimba.
The Nigerian top flight newcomers will host the Peoples Elephant in today’s Glo Premier League encounter in Nnewi.
Okonkwo said both sides are unmatched on status but that the Nnewi-based side will teach their more illustrious opponents some football lessons.
“Well, Gabros are quite new in the Nigerian Premier League compared with our opponents, Enyimba who are giants and household name in the domestic scene.
“We’ve absolute respect for them but we won’t lie low and allow the side to walk over us simply because they’re Enyimba.
“Our respect for them will end off the pitch as on the pitch we will prove to them that we are capable of kicking the round leather game.
“We must give the encounter everything in us to secure the three maximum points at stake.
“We’ve told ourselves that we won’t forfeit any point on the home ground throughout the duration of the season.
“Personally, I see the encounter as a new page or starting point to still prove existing superiority over Enyimba in all the teams I played in the past.
“As Enugu Rangers player we dominated them same scenario at Heartland so I want to continue the fine run against Enyimba right now in Gabros’ colours,” said the Olympian.
Gabros are fourth on the log on impressive 10 points from possible 18 in the six-week old Nigerian top flight.
