Fredrick Oliseh: FC Ebedei Will Battle Beyond Limits With Same Intensity
FC Ebedei General Manager and Coach Fredrick Oliseh says it is an incredible feeling breaking the 12-year jinx in the Optima Energy Gold Cup, as he assured that it will be the same intensity against Beyond Limits in Thursday ( today) semi-final.
Fredrick said: “It’s incredible qualifying for the preseason semi-final; it’s great working with a committed assistant; it all comes down to hard work, that’s what it is, and never giving up and always adding up to the formula at FC Ebedei.
“Great credit to the entire staff and the players. It’s not just me as no man is an island. To our President Barrister Churchill Oliseh, who’s the frontrunner and insightful in giving me this platform.”
Ahead of the next clash against Beyond Limits, “The games in the group are done, and you are only as good as your next game.
“Intensity, the same as you have seen on FC Ebedei, our level will be intense, we will be on the front foot. We will obviously create chances and then capitalise on moments; that’s what we are going to do.”
On his team’s performance against Ikorodu City whom they piped 1-0 and kept a clean sheet.
“You didn’t keep clean sheets without hardwork, it takes a lot, that’s why I have to give credit to the players and coaches. We work incredibly hard on how we want to defend and what we do when we don’t have the ball, and you see the results right there on the pitch.”
On his lads scoring two out of the three goals they recorded in the group phase in the first half.
“Football is a game of moments, and these moments fell to us in the first halves of the matches against Osun United and Ikorodu City, and we have taken them.
“At FC Ebedei, we only chase excellence, and this is the position we want to be in, as we don’t accept anything less and demand outright the best for ourselves in terms of performance performance.
“To be able to do these against Osun United, Ikorodu City and Shooting Stars is a testament to our psyche and mentality at FC Ebedei.”
