Rangers Bank On Chibuzor Okonkwo
Rangers International of Enugu have put their hopes of progression in the CAF Champions League on defender Chibuzor Okonkwo experience and versatility. <br /><br />Speaking recently to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>, the Beijing Olympic silver medallist disclosed this, and said he was confident Rangers will go very far in the competition.<br /><br />"The technical crew told me when I joined Rangers on loan from Oak Zeel FC that they were very happy with me because they knew they could count on me in a variety of positions for the team. <br /><br />''Most Nigerians know me only as a full back who can play left back and right back because I have done that in the Olympic team and also in the Super Eagles. <br /><br />''What they do not know is that I can also play comfortably anywhere in the midfield and even in attack.<br /><br />"In our barren home draw with Warri Wolves earlier in the season, the coaches gave me the license to roam in search of goals when the game really needed a lift. <br /><br />''I roved around and created chances but unfortunately Wolves held on to force a draw in Enugu.In Week Seven I blasted a free kick home in our 3-0 victory over Dolphin. <br /><br />''Against teams in Africa in the Champions League, I am sure that they will be caught napping when they see me in different positions on the pitch, doing what I know best. <br /><br />''My coaches have told me to d my best to help Rangers, and as far as God gives me the grace to keep fit, whenever I am on the pitch I will move Rangers forward. <br /><br />''I am confident that we can go all the way to lift the trophy, and also catch up with Kano Pillars and lift the league,'' said Chibuzor Okonkwo<br />
