NPFL/StarTimes: Ogunmodede urges players to fight till the end
As the NPFL/StarTimes league enters the home stretch,
Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede has admonished his players to keep their heads, remain focused and fight till the end.
Remo Stars will travel to Lafia to be the guest of Lobi Stars of Makurdi in the Match day 35 of the NPFL/ StarTimes league.
The gifted gaffer who was displeased with his wards performance against Kano Pillars at Remo Stadium in Ikenne despite winning the encounter narrowly.
Ogunmodede did not hide his feelings admitting that his side were lucky to beat Kano Pillars by 2-1.
"It was unbelievable and Incredible. I never thought we could get the maximum three points with what happened in the game,” Ogunmodede said
“I think we had a not-too-good match but I must salute the courage of the boys and their resilience to keep fighting till the end.
"Obviously, we had a poor game. After we scored in the sixth minute, we went to sleep and we were seriously dealt with in the early stages of the second half. It’s obvious their plan was to rush in the opening period of the second half and it paid off with a blunder from my goalkeeper. It’s one of those things and the team generally didn’t do expectedly well.”
Ogunmodede however believes that the game against Lobi Stars will be a different ball game.
"What is at stake is high. We are almost there. We just needed to work harder and keeps on fighting till the end by His grace we will be home and dry"
Remo Stars currently occupy third position on the NPFL/StarTimes table with 59 points from 34 matches closely following Rangers and Enyimba who will slug it out this weekend in Enugu.
