Chief Ifeanyi stated this while fielding questions from news men after the match.

He said that the technical input of Coach Fidelis Illechukwu and his crew is gradually manifesting in the team’s technical abilities, showing that they are doing a great job in blending the new boys with the old ones.

Though the Naze Millionaires lost the match via a 92 minutes lone goal by Christian Madu, their performance was a delight to the fans who filled the stadium to watch the game.
