Like usual, it was that same night after their home game as his players rested at home that Coach Yemi Daniel sent the fixtures of matchday 3 to their phones.
Waking up the next morning, Sam viewed the picture on WhatsApp.
A few days ago, he was put into the WhatsApp group of Enyimba FC.

Enyimba FC was already topping the league table with 6 points due to their perfect record of 2 wins in 2 games.
Sam slept with a big smile on his face.
The next morning, waking up, he said a prayer before getting off with his daily activities. Starting off by completing his daily system quest on time, he soon got prepared before going for morning training.
Coach Yemi Daniel was even more intense today with the training as he drilled his tactics into his players' heads, making sure that they understood his instructions on how they would approach the Plateau United game.
When the training game time finally came, in a different team from his captain this time, Sam still managed to put on an incredible performance and despite the fact that Olisema put out an improved performance, Coach Yemi Daniel's starting XI for the next game remained unchanged.
That day, as the players returned home from training, Sam felt Olisema's ire. The player didn't do anything drastic, but his piercing glare told the full story.
Cyril Olisema was not happy with his current situation in the club.
It didn't concern Sam though, what mattered was that finally, after weeks of trying his best, he finally broke into the starting XI of Enyimba FC.
Sam had a great night rest again and the next day, unlike what he expected, the team still did light training in the morning under their coach before they finally embarked on the journey to Plateau State.
When the journey started, Sam finally understood.
The distance from Aba in Abia State to Plateau State was an incredible 738 kilometers, so the team took a flight instead of the regular bus.
It was Sam's first time traveling by air.
