Enugu Rangers vs Enyimba: Coach Olanrewaju Talks Tough Ahead of Clash With Fidelis Ilechukwu

• Enugu Rangers vs. Enyimba FC is already gathering momentum as the match could decide who wins this season's NPFL title
• Coach Yemi 'Yema' Olanrewaju will lead the Peoples Elephants against a team managed by his former boss, Fidelis Ilechukwu
• After 34 matches so far, Enyimba are two points behind Rangers as both teams head into the first of their final four matches

Ahead of the Nigeria Professional Football League cracker between Enugu Rangers and Enyimba, coach Yemi Olanrewaju said what matters is getting the results.

The People's Elephants travel to neighbouring Enugu, where they face the league leaders in a match that many have branded as the 'title decider'.

'Yema' will lead Enyimba against a Fidelis Ilechukwu side, saying his boys will go all out to defend the club's colours on June 9.

Olanrewaju worked as Ilechukwu's assistant at the now-defunct MFM FC of Lagos for several years.

Excited ahead of the encounter, the Enyimba coach warned, via Complete Sports:

"Everyone has to defend his club and try to get the job done. 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," Olanrewaju added.

The tactician, however, admitted it would be a herculean task but said his side would fight until the end.

Asked about his knowledge of the opponents, Yema disclosed that he does not really know that much about them.

"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 personnel."
