I am not a coach but we need to uplift our level of fighting, train hard and innovate new ideas. \u201cDuring our game against Plateau United, we missed many scoring chances and excelled to stamp a big possession plus having more than ten corners of which none of them necessitated us to get a goal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the away goal they scored in Nigeria was the most important thing which has made the difference and enable them to jump into the next round of the CAF CL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to realise that we are in the mens\u2019 contest as such, we must fight and fight hard.
