that our performance there was better than what we had at the first phase in Abuja.

all our seven games just like we did in the first phase in Abuja. We were able to do that because
we have seen the stuff other teams are made of followed them very well, studied
their strength and weaknesses of our opponents in those phases.
So, we are now in practice sessions with intent to improve
on our performance and now that the final phase is around, we are not going to
under rate any team. What we are now working on is to improve more on Abuja and Ilorin performance
to enter the final in Lagos

“No doubt, this last phase would be tough. We are aware we
will face tough opposition from the defending champions or even the others, but
we are optimistic we are going to wrestle the title back. We are prepared
for any team. I’ve a good team this year and we’re playing very well.”
