Ilechukwu Eyes First NPFL Win With MFM Over Rangers

MFM FC head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, has said his side's priority for the moment is to defeat reigning Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions, Enugu Rangers when they meet at the Agege Stadium on Friday night.

The Nnewi-born tactician during a pre-match press conference on Thursday spoke about how important it is for his team to claim the maximum points at their home ground they have now nicknamed the Soccer Temple.

"I'm aware they have a strong team with quality coaches and quality players as well playing on the continent but beating them is our priority for now and we want to do just that on Friday.

"The game is very, very important to us and we are prepared well enough to face Rangers because last season we were not able to beat them both home and away.

"The maximum points is so crucial to us and I'm sure we will do all our best to defeat Rangers which I know will not be easy but we will beat Rangers by God's grace," the youthful coach told mountaintopfc.com.

MFM FC are in fourth place on the 20-team NPFL table with 13 points. The Lagos club still have two outstanding matches against Rivers United and Wikki Tourists.

Rangers on the other hand are fifth from bottom of the log with nine points from seven NPFL games.
