Head coach of Nasarawa United Football Club, Bala Nkiyu, has faulted inadequate preparations for his team’s failure to record a win in their first game of the 2022/23 Nigeria Professional Football League, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
“Football is like that sometimes, the goalkeeper we fielded in the game has been very fantastic. Maybe he just had a bad day. He’s been a very good goalkeeper and we cannot crucify him for making mistakes.
“And you saw in the second half, every player was as good as every other person, so as a coach, while making substitutions, I don’t have doubts in any of my players.” Nasarawa United are drawn in a tough Group A of the abridged league, and their next assignment is a midweek fixture against El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri and Nkiyu hopes his side can make amends with an away result as well.
“It’s never a good thing to lose at home, not even our first home match. It’s now left for us to fight back. If Enyimba can earn three points here, nothing stops us from getting three points away from home. But I assure you, this will be the last match we will lose at home this campaign,” he added.All rights reserved.
