Betsy Obaseki Tourney, Further Preparation ForTask Ahead – Okon

Head Coach of Rivers Angels FC, Edwin Okon, has said that the just concluded Betsy Obaseki Women’s Football tournament is a test for him and his players to further fortify their preparations for the maiden edition of the CAF Wemen’s Champions League scheduled to hold this month in Egypt.
Coach Okon said this via a telephone   interview with Tidesports shortly after his team defeated Edo Queens 1-3 in the ongoing Betsy Obaseki Wemen’s football tournament at the weekend.
“It’s a very good test for me and the players due to the challenge we have ahead of us. Besides, we don’t go into any game with the mindset of losing to anyone,” he said.
“As a coach, you need to study proceedings from the players through a game and instruct the players as well. Technically we read the game, as to know what we should not do or needed to do at a given circumstance.
“After adequate study, we make substitutes that could change the entire game and it turns out to be the best for a particular game with a remarkable impact and you see it save the day. Good players also come from the bench,” Okon added.
Rivers Angels finished top of Group B with 9 points from three matches and before facing hosts, Edo Queens, in the Saturday’s semifinals battle.
