“We came raw because we never had the plan to win due to our lack of training.
“The boys just came back the Christmas and New Year break, and then we got the invitation for the Super 4 Tournament.
“We just came back from the break with no serious training. So, we did not come for the win. It was with luck that we scored the goal,’’ he said.
Christopher however said the competition was an added opportunity for the team to get started and warm up for their first match in this year’s CAF Champions League.
The Aba-based side will play their first leg match in the first round fixture in the continental competition on Feb. 15.(NAN)
