“We had a good preparation and all the lads are looking forward to the game (against Shabana),” Asike told Tusker TV.

“We know it is an important game for us. We have lost two games in a row, so everybody is really working hard to get back to winning ways.

“We took it as a learning process. It is not normal. We learn from our mistakes. We have trained really well,” he added.

Tusker’s first leg

Regarding their opponents, Asike acknowledged Shabana as a formidable side, having suffered defeat against them in the first leg. He stressed the team’s determination to rectify past mistakes.

“It is definitely a good side. We lost in the first leg but we are here to make amends. We want to step out on this field and give it our all and work hard as a team to do our best to get all the three points.

“We had a good run before the two losses and we want to get back to that good run,” he pointed out.

Tusker have 31 points in 20 matches.
