Enyimba head coach, Olarenwaju Yemi, has made a candid admission about the mental state of his players following the dramatic and controversial title decider against Enugu Rangers in the Nigeria Premier Football League. The Oriental Derby, which ended in a defeat for Enyimba, saw the team walk off the pitch in protest over a penalty awarded to Rangers, resulting in a three-point deduction and multiple fines.
Since then, Enyimba has struggled to regain their footing, managing only one point from their last two games. Coach Yemi revealed the extent of the team's mental struggles, stating, "The past two games have been hell... We're struggling mentally, and I'm not happy." The young tactician expressed disappointment in the team's inability to recover from the setback, acknowledging that the current performance is uncharacteristic of the team that had been playing well all season.
Despite sitting third in the league table, Enyimba's mental state is a pressing concern, especially with a crucial final matchday ahead. A win on the last day would secure a continental ticket, but Coach Yemi's admission highlights the need for the team to address their psychological struggles to achieve this goal. The players' mental well-being is now a top priority, and Enyimba's fans hope that the team can regain their composure and finish the season on a high note.
