Anyansi Agwu Hails Enyimba's Progress

Enyimba boss Felix Anyansi Agwu has hailed players and officials of the club after their qualification to the semi-final of this year's Federation Cup.
The club beat Sharks FC to remain on course for a fourth Cup title with two goals from Sokari Kingsley and Raphael Boumsong in the 24th and 39th minutes respectively.
Anyansi said on the club's website "Our performance in this Federation Cup tournament is proof that our hard work is not in vain. It is also proof that on a level playing field, with good officiating, we have the right blend of coaches and players to do very well."
"This victory over Sharks means we are on course to defend the Federation Cup title and it tells a lot about the pedigree of our club and how consistent we have been. Now the team just needs to carry the passion and commitment they have shown in this Cup tournament into the Glo Premier League that resumes this weekend."
He however was quick to stress that the players must not get carried away by their Cup form because the road ahead is fraught with tougher challenges. He called for focus and a renewed commitment to the games ahead.
"Of course there might be a tendency to relax and imagine that because we are doing well in the Federation Cup, all is now well," he said. "We cannot do that, not at all."
"The determination to succeed must even be intensified from this point because by reaching this stage of the competition, we have sent a message to other teams to prepare harder for us. So it is important that we remain very focused and keep working hard.
"Again, I must congratulate the players and coaches for a job well done and commend the NFF (Nigeria Football Federation) for organizing a great Federation Cup tournament so far."
Enyimba play Giwa FC in the semi-final on Thursday, July 31 in Abeokuta.
