Ahead the Cathedral showdown in Enugu, Enyimba head coach, Yemi Daniel Olanrewaju popularly known as Yema, has warned that though he respects Rangers Fidelis Ilechukwu as a senior colleague, the match is about defending the club’s colours.
He would be leading Enyimba to Enugu where the two top teams face off at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium with swashbuckling Ilechukwu in the opposite dug-out.
After hailing Ilechukwu as his senior and who would have been his boss at the defunct MFM, Yemi warned, “but everyone has to defend his club and try to get the job done,” he told npfl.ng.
“He is a great guy I have a lot of respect for and nothing will change no matter the results in Enugu”.

“Ilechukwu is a senior and more like a big brother to me. He left MFM when I got there and we have a good relationship”.
Still on the Matchday 35 winner-takes-all fixture, Yemi described it as going to be “a tough game, league decider if you ask me. Rangers look like the favorites but we’ll fight till the end”
He admitted to not having much scouting of the opponents saying, “I don’t think I know them much. The way they started the season is not the way they are playing now and the formation is also different with personnels”.
Enyimba are two points behind Rangers as both teams go into the first of the last four games to end the season.
