Coach Aliyu Zubair praised his Wikki Tourists players’ efforts against Niger Tornadoes, but has stated that there is room for improvement.
The Giant Elephants edged Tornadoes 2-1 in the week three of the 2018/19 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday.
“The result is the first aspect with which to assess a game. We can be happy because we won the game. It was a relief to get our season kicking with maximum points,” reflected Aliyu Zubair afterwards to Sports247.ng.
“I recognise by all the great effort put in to win. There has been a lot of development to reach the goal, we had the precision to finish plays and needed to create more chances.
“We have had a lot of accuracy in the final stretch. It is fair to say, though, that the players have given everything to win the game.
“Yes I see room for improvement. I see the technical abilities of the players and know that they have greater technical qualities than we see in these actions.
“When you feel confident to do the best that you know, any lapses will leave.
“We must fight and work to our best to win games.”
