NWFL: Confluence Queens primed to bounce back against Remo Stars Ladies - Abubakar

 

Head Coach of Confluence Queens, Musa Abubakar, has declared that his team is mentally and physically prepared to secure a positive result in their upcoming league fixture.

The Lokoja-based club will host Remo Stars Ladies in a Matchday Three clash of the Nigeria Women Football League, NWFL in Iyamho on Wednesday.

Abubakar's side will be aiming to register their first win of the new season, having drawn 2-2 with Abia Angels in their opener and suffered a defeat in their second game against FC Robo Queens last week.

Abubakar revealed that the technical crew has reviewed the team's performances and implemented necessary adjustments, expressing optimism about a positive outcome.

"Actually, we have done all the necessary build-ups and the preparation was excellent. We hope that the players will be able to replicate what we see in training," Abubakar told Onward News 24 in an exclusive interview.

"They look ready and sharp, and if they are able to do that in game situations, I don't think we would have any challenge in winning the match, considering the fact that the three points are very crucial to us at this level where we are now.

"In terms of preparedness, I think we are set, we are ready and we are good to go for the game."

Reflecting on the team's last outing, where they suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to FC Robo Queens in Lagos, 'Manaman' as Coach Abubakar is fondly called, described the result as devastating and far below expectations.

However, he disclosed that corrections have been made following that game and promised an improved performance, starting with the clash against Remo Stars Ladies.

"Our last outing in Lagos (against FC Robo Queens) was devastating and we are not accepting it from the technical crew because that is not actually our expectation.

"But you know, at times when it happens in football, you have to take it in good faith and go back to the drawing board to see how it happened and how effective corrections could take place to avoid any reoccurrence, which we have done and positively, it will work in our favour on Wednesday.
