Enyimba assistant coach Ukaegbu calls for defensive discipline against Warri Wolves

Enyimba assistant coach Lawrence Ukaegbu wants his side to respond to last weekend’s 4-2 defeat by Katsina United when they host Warri Wolves in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) on Sunday.

The People’s Elephant conceded four goals in the away loss and Ukaegbu says defensive organisation must improve if Enyimba are to return to winning ways in Aba.

Speaking to Completesports.com, Ukaegbu also called on the team’s forwards to make better use of their opportunities in front of goal.

“We hope to maintain a good performance against Warri Wolves and also learn to capitalise on every goalscoring chance that we get,” he said.

The assistant coach identified the need to cut out avoidable errors after Enyimba’s disappointing result against Katsina United.

“We also need to keep our defence tight and avoid conceding cheap goals like the team did against Katsina United,” Ukaegbu added.

Despite the setback, he remains confident that Enyimba can secure victory in the weekend fixture and offered an assurance to the club’s supporters ahead of the meeting with Warri Wolves.

“I can assure Enyimba fans that the team will defeat Warri Wolves in Aba,” he said.
