Wolves battle bizarre weather in Bizerte

Warri Wolves Football Club arrived Bizerte on Wednesday evening to a very harsh weather as the team are lodged in Corniche Palace Hotel, situated by the sea which has compounded the weather problem facing the players.
Apart from the harsh weather, the team could not train yesterday morning because of a heavy down pour but the coaches have decided to reschedule the training for 2. pm but the good news is that the management led by Davidson Owumi is tackling what they called “psychological war” headlong by advising the players they had no choice but endure and to deliver.
Owumi who spoke with the players early yesterday told the players they just have to deliver, regardless of the inclement weather and that management would do everything to motivate them towards conquering the Tunisian side that held them to a draw in Warri last week.
Owumi also told the players that captain Azubuike, who could not make the trip due to his wedding engagement, has decided to join alongside Josiah Maduabuchi also left behind due to paper problem in Lagos.
According to Owumi, both players would join the team this morning with the sole aim of helping the team to qualify for the next round.
“I want to thank all of you for your understanding, You all to know that this is another psychological war which must be won as you can see that we are kept by the sea to make the weather worse for us. You can also see that the type of food we are giving is nothing to write home about but we must win this match for Nigerians. We will do our best to encourage you and you have no choice than to deliver” said Owumi who is not new to matters like this.
Meanwhile, the match will come up on Sunday by 1.30 pm (Nigerian time) with match officials coming from Sudan, while the match commissioner is from neighboring Morocco.
It would be recalled that the referees for the first leg in Warri came from Morocco, Tunisia’s neighbour and this made it difficult for the Warri players to understand the conversation between the Tunisian players and the centre referee each time there was any complaint.
