Fatai Osho Expects Favourable Result Against Stores

NNL: Osho Expects Interesting Encounter in Lagos. By Oladimeji Oshode Remo Stars Football Club (RSFC) Technical Adviser, Fatai Osho has indicated that the Match Day Two (2) in the Nigeria National League (NNL) will be an interesting match on Saturday in Lagos. The Sky Blue Stars will travel to take on Stationery Stores FC at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere in one of Group B2 fixtures in the second tier of Nigeria Football. Speaking with RSFC Media, Osho Fatai feels that the away victory against Osun United FC has come and gone and it's time for him and his wards to look towards the next game in Lagos. "Honestly, I will tell you It's still early days whether we got the maximum points away from home or not, there is still much for teams including ourselves to rally round to get things in our way, we don't have to start looking at that but to get the positives because we believe we can still do it somewhere else, when we talk of the winning mentality in an away ground, these players want to believe it is quite possible because they have done it already." "The next thing for us is to see every match as a cup, it's a match at a time. Osun United game is gone and we have to look ahead to Stationery Stores. Luckily for us, we played them in a friendly during the preseason, we know them quite well and they know us very well. It is going to be an interesting encounter going to Lagos, we also want to see what we can get in that match and put us in a very good position to qualify from that group." Speaking about picking maximum points in Lagos, Osho Fatai says everybody would always fancy their chances over any of their opponents. "With due respect to all the teams and just like them, if they are the one coming to Sagamu, they would also want to fancy their chances of coming here to get a point here and that's the way we are also looking at it. If we can get good result on the road, it stabilizes the team, the self confidence comes in, self believe also sets in and we can actually push ahead from there to get results." "It will be a great thing for us to get the points in Lagos and we are already preaching this to the players but it's not going to be an easy task, it's really going to be a daunting one, we believe it is something quite achievable for us and that's the way we are looking at it." "We are quite aware that it was really a disappointing outing in the last Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and if there is anything we have to bring these fans and make them forget everything that happened is the ability to get back to topflight football as quickly as possible and the fans should expect the best from the team." "Luckily for us, the management did a wonderful job for us in terms of preparation, I can recollect quite well that we were the first club in Nigeria to resume and kick off our preseason. We took a three week break and we returned to camp to partake in different competitions, we played close to a hundred friendly matches. It is amazing and I find it difficult to realise that we played that much, it explains why we have a strong footing going into the NNL." Osho said.
