Rangers Will Bounce Back Soon, Says Ilechukwu

Rangers International FC of Enugu Coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, has assured the club supporters that the team will soon get back to winning ways after losing 2-0 to Bendel Insurance in Benin City.

This is contained in a statement from the club media officer Norbert Okolie in Enugu yesterday.

The coach was optimistic that his team will bounce back in the next match against Gombe United to be played inside the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Rangers lost the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match day 17 to Bendel Insurance by 2-0.

Ilechukwu said the loss was avoidable going by the level of preparation into the match but some mistakes from his backline put paid to all the expectations.

“Football has come to show that no team is a small team and we came to Benin with full optimism to get an excellent result.

“We failed to achieve our set targets as we lost the match and we returned home to prepare for our next match to ensure we bounce back to winning ways.

“It has been a challenging season but we are working hard to ensure that we rediscover our winning formula,” Ilechukwu said.

Rangers maintain the 9th spot on the league table with 22 points from 16 matches and will next engage Gombe United in a match day 18 to be played on January 14, 2024.
