Majin Mohammed Targets Katsina United Scalp, Charges Players To Sustain Momentum

Acting Technical Adviser of Niger Tornadoes, Majin Mohammed has made it clear to his players that the onus lies on them to repair their own image by churning out commendable performances to improve the club's position on the log, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Niger Tornadoes welcomes Bala Abubakar's Katsina United in what promises to be an enthralling encounter in Kaduna in the last game of the first round of the 2023/2024 NPFL season. 

According to Mohammed; "It is your position on the log that tells how good you are as a player or as a team. It was evident that we experienced turbulent moments in the early stages of the season, but, fortunately for us, we have been able to collectively turned things around - so it's now up to us, to not get carried away by the good run of form, but to sustain the momentum.

"The encounter against Katsina United is a mouth watering one, just like other big games we've played this season, remember, we've beaten Rivers United here, defeated Kano Pillars, even Akwa United, amongst other crucial wins, so this one is not any different, if we apply the right approach and mentality."

This fixture shares a lot in common as Mohammed tackles Abubakar Bala Mohammed (both Nigerlites) for bragging rights. The two coaches are on a revival mission for their respective club sides.

Niger Tornadoes regained momentum since Mohammed took over the reigns on an interim capacity, steering the Ikon Allah Boys to two wins, two draws and a defeat on the road in five games, as Tornadoes moved places on the log to swim out of the drop zone.

While Mohammed had recorded two home wins and two away draws sandwiched by a single defeat at Lobi Stars, Katsina United under Bala Abubakar has won their last four home matches and recorded no point on the road, losing both clashes at Gombe against Gombe United and Doma United. 

Even the players are not left out of the match ups, Mohammed Hussaini and Tasiu Lawal were formally of Katsina United while Sunday Akinmoladun left the Ikon Allah Boys during the close season to team up with the Chanji Boys, put all these together and a classic Sunday afternoon at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium Kaduna is in the offing.
