After
going two goals down, Dolphins rallied round to end the encounter 2-2 and Media
Manager, China Acheru says it was the payments made to players just three days
before the game that geared them up.
“I
have always said that a well paid players does not guarantee success, but one thing
you are sure of is that they will be focused on their immediate assignment,”
Acheru said.
“For
eight months the team had lacked focus as players and officials were either
running from creditors, their landlords or not able to pay school fees for
their kids.
“However,
with what happened in Port Harcourt last week and all debts seemingly paid, the
boys can stay focused and we are happy we did the near impossible on Sunday in
Kano,” Acheru said.
Victor
Ezuruike, who came on in the last fifteen minutes of the game added that the
boys have solved some of their problems and are now focused on the task ahead.
“Honestly,
it was that payment that “gingered” us to perform and that is because that
money we received at least helped us solve some problems around us and we just
want to thank the governor,” Ezuruike said.
Coach
of the side, Stanley Eguma thanked the governor for his swiftness in responding
to their welfare.
“By
the time we left Port Harcourt I sensed we were going to get a result because
the players all wore bright faces.
“We
just thank the governor for the gesture and believe he will continue to handle
our matters with this kind of speed,” Eguma said.
Dolphins
have remained in Kano since their draw on Sunday and will depart for Katsina on
Tuesday for a league game against Elkanemi at the Karkarda Stadium on
Wednesday.
The
last time Kano Pillars drew a home match in the League was April 30, 2014
against Heartland. The encounter ended 1-1
