By Wale Mustapha
Ahead of the highly anticipated Oriental derby between Heartland FC and Enugu Rangers, Technical Adviser Emmanuel Amuneke has shared his thoughts on what his team needs to succeed in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The match will take place on Sunday in Owerri, with the Naze Millionaires set to host the reigning NPFL champions.
Amuneke, whose Heartland side is gradually finding its rhythm, emphasized the importance of focus and preparation as they face a formidable Rangers team.
Acknowledging the pedigree and continental experience of their opponents, he stressed the need for his players to be mentally sharp and fully prepared for the challenge.
“Rangers are a strong side, the reigning NPFL champions, and they have continental experience,” Amuneke said.
“But when it comes to an Oriental Derby, it’s about rolling up our sleeves and preparing adequately for the occasion. We’re not obsessed with the game; we just need to focus and be ready.”
As the Naze Millionaires gear up for this crucial encounter, Amuneke’s message is clear: success will come through focused preparation and the right mindset.
