RAFEAL Everton believes his FC Ifeanyi Ubah team is fully focused going into Sunday’s Federation Cup final game against Nasarawa United FC at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
"In the last few weeks we have been training very well, and we have been paying attention at little details that can help us win the match. We are aware that it is a final, and finals are lost/won by a moment of brilliance or a loss of concentration or a single goal. We have been working to rectify or weaknesses but also we have been working hard to get better on our strength. Yes, it might be our first final but we are going do our best to give a good account of ourselves."
The Brazilian also disclosed that he and his coaching staff have been paying special attention on the striking department and is confident his strikers will deliver.
"Yes we have not been scoring many goals, but that’s football, sometimes you score a lot and sometimes you run dry of goals, we have been working hard with our strikers during training sessions, also we have been working on attacking movements. But we are also aware that this is a final and that it can be decided by a single goal, so mental strength and team unity is key."
Rafael went on to praise our opponents for the final and disclosed that he was looking forward for the match on Sunday.
"Nasarawa United are a very good team. We have played them twice already and I watched them against Enyimba in Ibadan. I respect them but we have a game plan which we will try to work. We are well prepared, and I believe it is going to be a 50:50 game. I believe my team will come out victorious at the end."
