As the 2021 season heats up with the Round of 16 matches set to commence in July, coaches of qualified teams are already talking tough in preparation for the games. Looking forward to a successful outing this term, UNN Lions Coach, Ike Chijioke, said qualifying for the last 16 is an indication that the team means business.

So, I like the fact that the organisers put their feet down by saying if you don’t do this before this day, it is over. I want them to continue like that.
