Technical Adviser of Heartland FC, Christian Obi has assured that the mistakes of the first stanza in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League season won't be repeated in the second, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Speaking ahead of the clash with Kano Pillars, Obi said that he expects players to give their all against their opponents irrespective of the weather condition and other challenges faced prior to the fixture or when the game is on.

One of the top games to be played this weekend is the Saturday afternoon fixture between Heartland FC and Kano Pillars billed for the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba. 

Obi said: "We have tried to assemble more quality players to ensure that all hands are on deck for the team to remain in the premier league beyond the end of the season. We have trained very hard and have played friendly games too to keep the team in shape. We are confident we can do it and the players have proved from the test games that they shared the same sentiments," Obi disclosed while addressing the team after a recent training session.

"We made some mistakes in the first round but those mistakes have ended with the first round. We gave opportunities to the players that earned us promotion from the lower league to the Premier League but not all of them could measure up with the results we got. We have opted for tested legs and we pray for God's favour in all that we do."

Heartland FC are at the wrong end of the league table but Obi is confident the team can rewrite its story in the second stanza with Impressive results starting with the home game with Kano Pillars. 

He implored Owerri fans to troop in numbers to come and support them in Aba to ensure the maximum points is achieved.
