Central Bankers FC's Peter Mgangira Warns Players Against Complacency Ahead of FDH Bank Cup Quarterfinals
Head Coach Peter Mgangira of Central Bankers FC has cautioned his players against complacency as they prepare to face Blue Eagles FC in the quarterfinals of the FDH Bank Cup. With the match set to take place at Nankhaka Stadium in Lilongwe, Mgangira emphasized the importance of taking the game seriously to advance to the semifinals.
"Playing against Blue Eagles is always a tough match, but the boys are ready for the encounter," Mgangira said in a media interview. "We are playing against the defending champions of the competition, and they eliminated us last year, which is enough motivation for us to give our best on Thursday," he added.
Central Bankers and Blue Eagles have a history of close matches, with their previous league encounter ending in a one-all draw. Despite this, Mgangira expressed confidence in his team's readiness for the encounter.
"The boys know that if we relax, there could be consequences, so we need to stay focused," he said.
Central Bankers will return to local league action after a successful run in the CAF Champions League first preliminary round. Their impressive performance in the continental competition could give them an edge in the FDH Bank Cup.
"We have shown that we can compete at the highest level, and I believe that will give us the confidence we need to succeed in the FDH Bank Cup," Mgangira said.
Blue Eagles, as the defending champions, will be under pressure to defend their title. Central Bankers will be looking to avenge last year's elimination and make it to the semifinals.
"We have prepared well for this match, and we are focused on our goal of making it to the semifinals," Mgangira said.
