Editorial
We share Uzoho’s belief in his team’s capacity to bounce back. His measured response to adversity speaks of a coach aware that recovery is forged under pressure not in the warmth of praise.bet9ja.com This defeat, bruising as it may feel, must not define Kun Khalifat’s NPFL journey. It should instead fuel their evolving identity.
Uzoho's task blending tactical clarity with psychological fortitude is heavy but not impossible. Staying grounded in preparation and seizing their next opportunity against Kwara United can shift the narrative from reactive to proactive. We stand with them in expecting a spirited response.
