CAFCC: We must take caution against San Pedro - Osho

By Sampson Adedeji

Ahead of the all important match day 6 of the CAF confederations cup match between Ivorian side San Pedro and Nigeria's Champion Enyimba, the head coach of the Nigeria side Fatai Osho has issues a warning to his players to becareful be careful of San Pedro.

The People Elephant will face San Pedro in a must win game in Abidjan on Sunday and Osho has instisted that they has what it takes to progress in the competition, BSN Reports.

San Pedro is out of the competition and they stand to lose absolutely nothing, and when you’re playing with no pressure on you, some teams tend to play better and that’s why we have to be careful. We have to really bring in our A-game to get the needed result.

“It won’t be an easy match. They have their honour to play for and they want to do well in front of their fans. They’ve not been doing too well at home and I see a situation where they will want to turn the table.

“Anything short of a draw could be costly for Enyimba, and when you need a draw like that you’ve got to go for a win, but if you actually plan to get a draw you might end up losing it altogether. So the orientation is for the players to go all out for victory, which is the normal thing in football.

“We want our destiny to be in our own hand. We don’t want to start monitoring what is happening (in the group’s other game) in Agadir. If we can get our result in Abidjan, regardless of what happens in Agadir we will be safe, we will be home and dry. And that’s exactly what we need to do and that’s what we are preaching to the players," he said.

Enyimba who played up to the Semi final last year will be hoping to advance into the knockout round of the competition.
