No cause for alarm, Bosso insists

El Kanemi Warriors Technical Adviser, Ladan Bosso is confident that his team will soon bounce back despite losing its opening two league matches.

The Borno Army lost 1-0 to Wikki Tourists in the matchday one in Katsina on Sunday and suffered another 2-1 defeat to Abia Warriors in Umuahia on Wednesday.

The former Flying Eagles told SportingLife that it is too early for the clubs at the top of the summit to celebrate as he insisted that his boys would soon turn things around for the good of the team.

“When I checked the table I can see that we are last in the log, no shaking about that because I am very confident that we would bounce back despites losing two matches. It is too early for clubs in front to celebrate,” Bosso said to SportingLife.

“I am too confident in my ability and caliber of players I am parading in the ongoing league. It is not too far to remember what happened last season, when FC Taraba were leading the log at beginning in the first six games and ended up relegated to the lower division.

“I know that we are battling blending of players for them to understand themselves in the entire departments. Very soon the link between the defence and the midfield to the attack will be very invincible.

“Our first good test was against Wikki Tourists, during pre-season we were not opportune to play any premier league clubs nor were we involved in pre-season tournament before the start of the league. My confident came at the wake of our game against Abia warriors and we played far better than what we played against Wikki Tourists at home. Abia Warriors were just lucky to get three points in that match. It was 50/50 situation.”

El-Kanemi finished the game with 10 men following the expulsion of their defender, Aghoha Otakho after receiving a second yellow card in the 35th minute.

The former Kano Pillars managers said Otakho’s red card distabilised their initial plans.

“The red card given to Otakho distabilised our option one game’s plan. The card was genuinely given to him. The officiating was fair and I have no quarrel against officiating. And I am taking responsibility for what is happening now. I am assuring our fans within and outside that El-Kanemi will soon bounce back. Moreso, that we are getting the attention of the sponsors; government and management. I have believed that our fans are behind us. I congratulate Abia Warriors for luckily clinching the three points in the game.”
