NNL: Okeji optimistic ahead of new season as United goes spiritual


Seyi Joshua


The wait is finally over as
Osun United Football Club ambush Remo Stars Football Club, on Saturday evening in one of the Week One fixtures of the 2018 Bet9ja Nigeria National League at the Oshogbo Township Stadium.



'Omoluabi Giants' will have their hands full when they tango with the 'Sky Blue Stars' who have unarguably enjoyed nothing less than six months of intensive preparations after a stint in Nigeria Professional Football League.



In a chat with codedreporter.blogspot.com.ng after their final training at the main bowl of Osogbo Township Stadium, Victor Okeji is confident of positive result and a blissful season ahead.



"We have determined to start the season with vigor and a brisk momentum, after a rigorous preseason preparations.



"Our aim is to finish the season on high note and qualify for the Nigeria Professional Football League play off,  playing each game as if it's a cup final."




A reliable and informed pacy forward who in the time past had carried the team on his shoulder underscores the importance of right attitude and the veracity of club's slogan 'Believe and Achieve' as the wave guide to the season.




"With the new blood of players injected into the team, the spirit is so high and we won't forget to fight during our games, we will fight for the financier of the team, we will fight for the management and lastly, we will fight for our supporters and the passionate fans." The former Gateway FC of Abeokuta forward concluded.




Meanwhile, the team in conjunction with the Supporters Club spent quality times in the presence of Almighty God yesterday, committing their ways and club activities in the hand of God. The well attended prayer session is aimed at seeking God's mercy and divine intervention as the season unfolds.





The expectations is so high on the home team to perform better than the last outing. Recall, the 'Omoluabi Giants' finished seventh (7th) on the log in the Southern Conference last season, scoring thirty (30) goals and conceded twenty-five (25) goals.
