Going Bananas! Rangers Coach Blames Zesco Defeat on Fatigue and Hunger

Enugu Rangers interim Coach, Chukwu Agbo has blamed fatigue and hunger for his team’s defeat against Zesco United in the second-leg of the CAF Confederation Cup play-off.

Zesco United defeated the Nigerian League champions 3-0 at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, and 5-2 on aggregate after a 2-2 draw in teh first-leg.

In his post-match remarks, Agbo said ‘ If not for the silly goals we conceded, we could have gotten a result.

‘ I told my players if Zesco could score two goals in Enugu, that we could do the same to. But You know we can’t cheat nature, nobody can.’

‘ I had to rest my best players to conserve their energy because the Zambians are Athletic and you need strength to play them.’

Agbo said the team arrived the match venue two hours before kick off and only had bananas to eat.
