Deutsch believes the encounter will provide an opportunity for Enyimba to show a different side of themselves.

The tactician said the team has prepared well and is fully focused on the challenge ahead.

“I think that this game tomorrow will show a sign, a new face of Enyimba. For tomorrow’s game, we are calm for the game, the pitch will show this reality,” Deutsch told the club’s media.

He also praised the hospitality the team has received in Gombe, noting that there have been no major distractions during their stay.

“We got good accommodation, good hospitality in Gombe, there are no distractions. But the only distraction that I’m not happy about is at home.”

Deutsch Raises Concern Over Internal Distractions

The Enyimba coach also expressed his frustration over what he described as distractions surrounding the club, particularly reports and discussions on social media and in the media.

“If you see everything happening in the papers and on the internet, we can’t imagine the kind of power some people want,” he added.

Deutsch stressed that such distractions could have a negative impact on the players’ mentality, while commending the club chairman for his efforts to support the squad.

“There’s a chairman there, you can cooperate with him and work. Because the distractions affect the mentality of the players.”

He added that the chairman has continued to provide personal and financial support to the players, including those dealing with difficult personal circumstances.

“But thank God the chairman is doing his best. He adds his own resources to make sure the players are well fed.

“He shows personal interest; those who lost their parents, he tries to boost their morale that he would take care of all those things. This is the kind of things we need, not selfish interests.”

Deutsch maintained that the team remains focused despite the issues surrounding the club.

“There are people with selfish interests around the team, but we are calm.”

Rallying Call To Supporters

The Enyimba technical adviser also urged supporters in Abia State to rally behind the club and help protect the team from distractions.

“I want all the Abia fans to understand this. You cannot succeed without discipline,” Deutsch stated.

He called on Enyimba supporters to stand firmly behind the team as the club seeks to rebuild and return to its former heights.

“I want Abians and Enyimba fans to stand up against those who want to distract the team because Enyimba is a very big team. I’m talking like this because I’m not happy.”

Deutsch also pointed to Enyimba’s rich continental history, reminding supporters of the discipline that contributed to the club’s success in Africa.

“Enyimba are double CAF Champions League champions. The people who made this happen had discipline.”

With the club currently working to rebuild the squad, Deutsch appealed to supporters to remain united and focused on the team’s progress.

“Now we want to rebuild the team, some people want to come to take over the team due to selfish interests. Enyimba fans should rise and demand an end to the distractions because Enyimba must succeed.
