-The NPFL Champions, open their defence of the Nigeria Professional Football League with a match day two fixture against Katsina United today.

The People’s Elephant were on standby on the
season’s opening matchday last weekend owing to
the club’s involvement in the CAF Confederation
Cup.
Today’s fixture offers Enyimba’s in form striker
Martins Usule the chance to score on his NPFL debut
for Enyimba, interestingly, against his former side.

Having spent five seasons with the Changi Boys,
during which he scored forty-four goals, the stocky
forward cuts a cult figure among the local fans.

Usule has already netted twice in his last two
matches for Enyimba, and the forward expects to
meet a favourable atmosphere at Kastina United
ground.

“I am not under pressure to score (because) I know
goals come naturally,”

Usule began.

“I’m going to expect a very huge atmosphere
because I was loved in this place and I know that
same spirit will still come up in tomorrow’s game.
There is no doubt about that.
“It’s important for us to start on a winning note
because there’s a spirit of winning. Once you start a
game in a competition with a win, that spirit moves
you on; so it’s good for us to start with a win.”
