Nzube Anaezemba says he expects that this year’s Glo Premier League Super-4 Tournament will be a much more enjoyable tournament for him compared to last season’s experience.
The midfielder recounts how he spent last season’s tourney without even making a substitute appearance in all the matches Enyimba played enroute winning the tournament.
Anaezemba in a chat with www.npfl.ng said, “Last year was a very painful experience for me. It was my first experience in the Glo League Super-4 but I did not start or play for one minute.
“I was eager to play but I was not named, so I watched from the bench. It will be better not to travel than to sit on the bench and nobody is considering you. Last year’s Super-4 was for me a time to watch from the bench and perhaps study the tournament.
“The same thing also happened in the Champions League games Enyimba played before being knocked out. I wanted to play but I was not selected. It was not the right start to the season but I am a player that loves to take my chances.
“So when the new coach came, he showed faith in me and gave me the chance to play and I showed him what I can do. So for this Super-4, my expectation is that I will play”, the diminutive midfielder disclosed to www.npfl.ng.
Enyimba’s pre-season preparations have been far from ideal with the team just able to start training earlier this week. The 22 year old acknowledges that it might impact on their performance at the tournament but insists that the team will give their best as always.
