Selected Star Football Academy (SSFA) of Port Harcourt started on a winning note, on Wednes-day as it thrashed Bravo Football Club 3-0 at the ongoing Port Harcourt Football Festival, holding at Yakubu Gowon Stadium.
Speaking with Tidesports in an exclusive interview shortly after the victory the Head coach of SSFA Richard Agim, said their pattern of play that enable them to win was to do effective distribution of the ball and pass it to the strikers to score.
“ I am so happy God made it possible that we won and I believe we will reach the finals of this competition” Agim said.
According to him, the game was not an easy one even though they won, adding that the tournament is an opportunity for young ones to showcase their talents.
“This is what I was dreaming of because the best players in Nigeria is on the street not in the clubs, this is an opportunity for the youth to showcase their talents so by His grace scouts can see them and subsequent signing into clubs” he stated.
He noted that organising tournaments and competi-tions is one of the best ways to take the kids out of streets.
The coach commended the organisers and spon-sors of the competition, Excel Exquisite Wear and Rivers Ministry of Sports respectively for giving back to the society.
Also speaking the assistance coach of Bravo FC Kelvin Salami, said that losing in football game is a normal thing, but every coachs’ mindset is to win.
“So for the fact that we did not win today does not mean we are not good. We will go back to the drawing board to come up with different techniques to win other matches” Salami said.
