The Peoples' Elephants are on the verge of crashing out of the competition, but their former manager believes Aigbogun's men can still turn things around. Kadiri Ikhana has lamented Enyimba's Caf Champions League defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday. The Nigerian champions lost 2-1 to the Brazilians and sit at the base of Group B having lost their first game to Zamalek.
Ikhana, who led team to their maiden Caf Champions League trophy in 2013 believes Enyimba can still turn things around to qualify for the semi-finals despite their current predicament.
“Enyimba are a brand new team with a new bench and players yet to blend compared to their Group B opponents who have been together for four or five years," Ikhana toldsupersport.com “The two teams are more solid than Enyimba, but that is not to say Enyimba are not a good team.
“Enyimba tried in the last game at Mamelodi Sundowns, but were unlucky to lose the encounter at the end of the day. “The losses to Zamalek and Sundowns are not good for us as we must now win our remaining matches to qualify.
“Of course, when you lose two matches in a qualifier it makes it difficult to go ahead and win a ticket. “However, as we know nothing is impossible in football and that’s why we should not completely lose hope of a positive turnaround. Enyimba can win the two remaining matches and qualify to the semifinals."
