Enyimba FC Head Coach, Finidi George has reflected on his side’s performance after their Africa Football League exit following a 4-0 aggregate loss to Wydad Casablanca of Morocco.
The Nigerian Champions were pounced 3-0 in Casablanca on Thursday, October 26 by Wydad who triumphed 0-1 in the first-leg earlier in the week.
Speaking about his sides performance in the Africa Football League quater-final second leg clash at the Stade Mohamed V. , Finidi acknowledged it was not a good match for his boys.
“I think it was not a good match for us especially in the first half,” the Super Eagles assistant coach was quoted by the club’s official website.
” But I think it was because of the way Wydad played, a lot of pressure and few mistakes from my players,and they got that early goal.”
On his thoughts for the team away from Continental football this season, the former Nigerian International said the club’s young players will continue to work towards getting sufficient experience.
” We have a lot of young players,” Finidi noted.
“We are working towards something. I think in the coming years, these players will graduate and they will have that experience.
“For them, it’s a big experience playing in a big tournament like this. Unfortunately, we didn’t qualify. So, we’ll learn from what we’ve done wrong and try to be better in the future.
“It’s a good tournament, and for the young players that are coming up, it’s also a good experience for them. In one or two years they will have the experience and whenever they compete like this, they’ll do much better.”
Enyimba FC have since returned to Nigeria where their attention will be fixed on domestic league action.
