Rangers International head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, is determined to maintain his team’s winning momentum as they prepare to face Bayelsa United in a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 23 clash this Sunday. The defending champions secured a 2-0 victory over Ikorodu City in their last outing and will be aiming for another strong performance in Yenagoa.
The Flying Antelopes impressed in their previous fixture, with goals from Godwin Obaje and Isaac Saviour sealing a comfortable win. Ilechukwu, who previously managed Heartland and Plateau United, is keen on finishing the season on a high note as Rangers continue their title defense.
Despite an inconsistent run of form this season, the Rangers boss remains optimistic about his team’s ability to push for a strong finish. He has dismissed any notion of pressure, insisting that his players understand what is required of them at this stage of the campaign.
“No doubt, we are going to build on the win we achieved against Ikorodu City at home and push for a positive finish to our campaign this season,” Ilechukwu stated, emphasizing the importance of momentum as the season enters a critical phase.
The coach also highlighted his trust in his squad, backing them to deliver in the upcoming matches. “Sure, we are not under any pressure again, and the boys understand what is at stake as defending champions. I believe in their abilities to deliver the goods henceforth,” he added.
Rangers currently sit in a competitive position on the NPFL table, but they will need to show consistency in the coming weeks to strengthen their title defense. With crucial games ahead, every point will be vital in their bid to retain the championship.
Bayelsa United, their next opponents, have proven to be a tough side at home and will pose a challenge at the Samson Siasia Stadium. However, Rangers will be confident of securing a positive result, having shown resilience in previous away fixtures.
A win in Yenagoa would not only boost Rangers’ position in the standings but also reinforce their confidence as they approach the final stretch of the campaign. Ilechukwu’s tactical decisions will be crucial in determining how his team handles the encounter against Bayelsa United.
The match is set to kick off at 4 PM on Sunday, and Rangers fans will be eager to see their team continue on the winning path. With the title race still open, every game presents an opportunity to gather momentum and stay in contention.
As the season progresses, Ilechukwu’s leadership will be tested, but the Rangers boss remains focused on the task ahead. With a blend of experience and youthful talent in his squad, the Flying Antelopes are determined to finish the season on a high note.
