According to Plateau United's technical advisor Fidelis Ilechukwu, in the second leg of their CAF Champions League first-round matchup against Esperance of Tunisia, his club would give it everything they've got.
At the Rades Stadium in Tunis, the second leg of the match is scheduled.
Ilechukwu made this statement soon after his team's narrow 2-1 victory over the four-time champions in the first-leg match that was played on Sunday at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
In order to defend their lead from the first leg and advance to the lucrative group stage of the competition, he indicated that his squad is using the attack as its best method of defence.
After having an idea of how the Tunisian side plays, the former MFM coach stated that he is initiating measures to contain his opponents noting that his team will give everything to ensure they realize their objective of scaling through to the group stage of Africa’s premier club competition.
“I am adopting an all-attacking formation in the return leg of the second round in order to qualify for the group stage which we have already set for ourselves long before now and we are committed to that objective, Ilechukwu said.
While regretting the chances his team missed in the second half of the encounter, the Plateau United Technical Adviser noted that all deficiencies observed in the first leg will be improved upon before the return leg in Tunis.
He expressed appreciation to Governor Simon Lalong for the massive financial and moral support given to the team and assured soccer-loving Nigerians that the technical crew under his watch is working hard to secure a decent result in the reverse fixture.
The winner of the first round over two legs will qualify for the group stage of the competition while the loser will drop to the third round preliminary stage of the CAF Confederations Cup.
