After settling down
comfortably on arrival in Kigali, Confederation cup campaigners Enyimba early
Saturday held a press conference ahead of the first leg quarter final clash
against Rayon sports on Sunday.
The Aba side sounding
very confident said they are ready for the match expected to attract fans in
full to the 22,000 capacity Nyamirambo Stadium.
"After landing and
settling in Kigali, today's pre-match meeting and press conference have been
concluded. All eyes now firmly focused on the action tomorrow.
#TOTALCAFCC" the team confirmed on social media Saturday.
Meanwhile Rayon sports
defender ABDUL Rwatubyaye may have indirectly warned Enyimba not to expect a
tea party when action takes the centre stage on Sunday. The 23 year old has
reportedly told his teammates to hold their nerves and step up performance
against visiting Peoples Elephant.
Describing Enyimba as
one of the best clubs in the continent, Rwatubyaye said it would be a mistake
to treat the team with kid gloves, adding that Rayon must adopt a fight to the
finish approach.
“We have to fight and
make the most of home advantage, “he was quoted telling his teammates by The
New Times of Rwanda Rayon sports by all standard cannot be said to be a soft
nut to crack and playing in front of their vociferous supporters will pose a
huge challenge for Enyimba who are hoping to get at worst a draw in the game
before the return leg September 23.
The 8- time Rwanda
National Football League Champions have 9 Rwandan Cup in the kitty, a Rwandan
Super cup and a CECAFA clubs cup to their credit among other laurels, an
indication that they can on a good day give any opponent a run for their strength
and skill.
