The players are fully aware of what is at stake; there can be no compromise. We must give our all to secure maximum points. Anything less would mean we have failed the club and disappointed our loyal fans," he asserted with determination.

The atmosphere within the Enyimba camp reflects a sense of urgency and determination, with every member of the team fully committed to redeeming their season with a final emphatic performance. The coaching staff has been meticulously preparing the squad, focusing on tactical strategies and mental preparedness to ensure a victorious outcome against Plateau United.

Reflecting on the recent setbacks, Olarenwaju acknowledged the challenges faced but remains optimistic about the team's capability to rise above adversity. He emphasized the importance of resilience and unity among the players, urging them to channel their frustrations into a spirited performance on the field.

As the countdown to the decisive fixture against Plateau United continues, Enyimba International is rallying its supporters and stakeholders alike, calling for unwavering support as they strive to secure their place among Africa's elite clubs. The club’s legacy and prestige are on the line, and the players are poised to deliver a memorable performance that will determine their fate in continental football for the upcoming season.

In conclusion, Coach Olarenwaju and his team are unwavering in their resolve to achieve their objective, knowing that success in their final match will not only redeem their season but also uphold the club’s tradition of excellence in Nigerian and African football. Every player understands the magnitude of the task ahead and is prepared to leave everything on the pitch to ensure Enyimba International returns to the continental stage where they rightfully belong.
