Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan Head Coach, Gbenga Ogunbote has attributed his team’s good run of recent in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) to hard work.
Oluyole Warriors defeated Gombe United 3-0 in a Matchday 15 tie decided at the Lekan Salami Stadium on Sunday to take their unbeaten run to five.
Goals from
Malomo Taofeek (41'), Godwin Alao (47') and Douglass Archiv (65') gave 3SC comprehensive
victory over the coach Aliyu Zubairu tutored Gombe United.
The result
moved the Ibadan-based outfit to the fifth position on the log with 21 points
from 15 games .
Ogunbote said understanding between the players as well as corrections carried out on the grey areas noticed during the first round of the season are reasons why the team has been getting it right in recent times.
"There
is no magic to it other than hard work, aside from that the players are getting
used to each other and we noticed some grey areas which we tried to make amends
to".
On the
tactics adopted against the Savannah Scorpions, which resulted in the
resounding win, the former Sunshine Stars and Rangers International handler
responded.
"The
players knew the importance of the game, we have four matches to go, no matter
what happens, we want to finish on a high note, we need to finish in an
appreciable position.
"If you
look at the game, we were wasteful a little bit in the first half, the game
would have been wrapped up in the first half, but be that as it may, it was a
game of minds, the players wanted to win and thank God we were able to create
chances and we were able to get three of those chance", stated coach
Ogunbote.
When asked
if a Super Six spot was still possible, the Oracle, as the gaffer is fondly
called insisted that an appreciable finish at the end of the season was the
main goal for now but added, "if it comes, we will take it".
