Former Enugu Rangers gaffer, Imama Amapakabo has a big heart, he is one of the best in the Nigeria Professional Football League. He may have left the Flying Antelopes due to series of poor results which I think isn't all about technical input but more of some not too pleasant episodes outside of the pitch. He had a technical crew that believed in him based on what I saw in their camp in Benin during their preseason in 2016.
I heard and saw the confidence with which the Team Manager of Enugu Rangers, Amobi Ezeaku spoke, coaches on the Imama's technical crew at the time, Tony Bolus, Chukwuma Agbo and Gabreil Ezema kept saying that to lift the trophy is what they are looking at even when the 2016 season hasn't started. They were ready to work to deliver the unbelievable dream of being Nigerian champions.
We have gone past 2016 but a fantastic group of friends at Enugu Rangers made sure they broke a 32 years jinx to lift a major trophy.
Fast forward to April 2017, Rangers are 20th on the NPFL table with 13 points from 14 matches. they have five important outstanding matches to play and that journey will start today, Sunday April 23.
That turning point may start today. Rangers lacked speed and mobility in attack and has been the reasons why the Flying Antelopes haven't so many goals. They have added some players to their squad which will definitely make instant impact and barring any form of injury, these players will form a deadly combo that will score goals aplenty.
I'll focus on these two players; Chidera Eze and Bright Silas- Chidera Eze is another form of Chisom Egbuchulam. He's got Plenty of speed on and off the ball, a very good finisher and when he decides to serve his solo run, the fans in the stands will stand up to celebrate a good goal. Bright Silas brings speed from the wings, his crosses are in most cases spot on.
With Bobby Clement who I see as a hard worker creating that support for Eze and the creative flow from Godwin Aguda and Obinna Nwobodo still intact then I think it's time to start hearing the loud celebrations of goals scored at the Cathedral again.
Bright and Eze have the capacity to reverse attack to defense with their high speed pressing in attack. The inclusion of Ifeanyi George will add to the creativity of the side, initiating quick combinations and good finishes. The combination of these new inclusions in attack has proven potent with Rangers scoring 15 goals in two FA Cup games recently(9-1 and 6-0).
I just heard some asked that those are against an amateur sides but lets keep the fingers crossed but I know so well that these inclusions will make Rangers journey out of the relegation zone a positive one.
