Finidi bullish on Enyimba's chances despite dropped points against Sunshine Stars

Enyimba manager Finidi George has defiantly stated his side will push till the end in their quest to defend their Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) title.

Pulse Sports Nigeria reports that the Super Eagles interim coach stated this after seeing his charges salvage a 1-1 draw against Sunshine Stars on Sunday.

The People's Elephant kept their hopes alive thanks to Chidiebere Nnachi's second-half strike in Akure, a result that leaves them two points adrift of league leaders Rangers Int’l of Enugu.

Despite the dropped points, George, who has been heavily linked with the vacant Nigeria Super Eagles head coach role, remains bullish about Enyimba's chances of overhauling their rivals.

"I think so (that Enyimba still have a chance to win the league)," the former Nigerian international told the club media.

"After having this point (against Sunshine Stars), I think we will build on it and see how we can win at home.

"We will push till the end of the season. This is Enyimba, we don't give up. Others are playing to see how they can win also. So, we will see what happens."

The seven-time NPFL champions next host Katsina United at the Enyimba International Stadium as they continue their quest to reel in Rangers at the summit.

With the title race finely poised, George's defiant stance suggests the Aba giants won't go down without a fight as the season enters its crucial final stretch.
