Gata said he
is satisfied with his 15-goal return this season despite falling short of his
target at the outset of the campaign by 10 goals.
He explained
further that the championship is a tough and difficult to score goals when
a
striker becomes a marked man, adding that moving from Niger Tornadoes to FC
Ifeanyiubah also meant he had to get himself familiar with his new surroundings
and the style of play of the club.
"I am
very happy with how my season finished. I said I wanted to score 25 goals but I
ended up with 15 and for me, it is not a bad achievement. To be honest, it wasn't
an easy season as such. After playing for Tornadoes where I scored most of my
goals this season, I knew I won't find it as easy as I did in the first round.
But I had to work hard at my new club too so I can be a regular, first-team,
player because there are so many good players here.

The former
Kwara United forward is now hoping that his club can go all the way and win the
Federation Cup this year and then qualify for the Confederation Cup next year.

"I am
not losing hope about playing on the continent next year. We still have a very
good chance because we are still in the Federation Cup. Unfortunately I will
not be playing in the Cup with the team because I am cup-tied. But I trust my
teammates and I believe we have enough quality players to win it for us,"
the FC Ifeanyiubah striker said.
Gata made a
mid-season switch from Niger Tornadoes to FC Ifeanyiubah after he had scored
nine goals.
