Orji has conveyed his team’s determination to deliver a commendable performance against Rangers, emphasizing their preparedness for the challenge ahead.
Despite the heightened anticipation surrounding the fixture, he maintains that Abia Warriors will approach the game with a composed mindset, treating it as they would any other match.
“The game against Rangers holds significance, but for us, it’s business as usual,” Orji remarked, downplaying the spectacle surrounding the encounter. “We will maintain our focus and approach it with the same level of professionalism that we bring to every game.”
Confident in his team’s abilities, Orji refrains from making grandiose declarations, preferring instead to let their performance on the pitch speak for itself. “We don’t need to boast; our actions will speak louder than words come matchday,” he asserted confidently.
For both teams, securing victory holds paramount importance. Rangers aim to maintain their position at the top of the league standings, while Abia Warriors seek to ascend the ladder with a positive result.
The stakes are high, promising a fiercely contested battle as the two rivals vie for supremacy on the pitch.
