Wikki Tourists Head Coach Abdullahi Adamu has said that his team is getting better game after game despite their 1-0 defeat to Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM)FC in the matchday 28 Nigeria professional Football League (NPFL) game on Monday morning, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

The game which was earlier scheduled for Sunday afternoon at the Agege stadium was moved to Monday morning due to a waterlogged pitch occasioned by heavy downpour in Lagos.

Captain Kenedium Nelson 55th minute goal was all Olukoya Boys needed to secure all three points at stake in the encounter.

The former Green Beret gaffer, who replaced former coach Usman Abd’Allah, said the confidence is back in the team.

“The team is getting into shape and we are improving. The players are disciplined and there are winning mentality in the team now. The players are hungry and ready to move the team out of the situation we found ourselves,” Adamu told Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

He added: “We played very well against MFM and we lost the match due to a costly mistake by our goalkeeper. We supposed to get something from the game but we missed scoring chances as well. We will go home and prepare for the game against Lobi Stars with the hope of getting good result in the game.”  

The former Katsina United coach added that his main target is to maintain team NPFL status at the end of the season, and also getting to the final of the Aiteo Cup.

“The club did not give me any target but I have set two targets for myself. My first aim is to sustain the team in the league and finish among the top ten clubs which is very possible. The second ambition is to get to the final of the Aiteo Cup competition. All these are achievable if we all play our part.”
