Speaking ahead of the game against Wydad, the Super Eagles legend emphasised that the Elephants are not under any pressure to perform but are simply focused on making the country proud.
“There is no pressure on us (Enyimba),” Finidi stated in his pre-match press conference per a post from Enyimba.
“We would do our best to make Nigeria and West Africa proud,” he added.
The People’s Elephant have a rich history and legacy to uphold and are determined to approach the match with the same dedication and commitment that has defined their footballing ethos.
