Bisi Open Championship: Coach Attributes Victory To Hard Work 

The Head coach of Bright Strikers Football Academy of Port Harcourt, John Obi, has attributed their victory in the opening match at the ongoing Bisi Open Championship football tournament in Port Harcourt to hard work.
He said that despite their one goal deficit in the early minutes into the game, he knew his boys(players ) have the capacity to win the game.
Obi said this in an exclusive interview with Tidesports shortly after they defeated Zega Boys 4-3 in a penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw in regulation time, at No. 6 Field in the Old Port Harcourt Township.
According to him, “Penalty is no man’s game, but I know what my boys are made of when it comes to penalty shootouts.”
“When we were one goal down in the early minutes , I wasn’t worried because I believe in my players that they are going to get the equalizer, knowing what they can do.”
“When it was 1-1, I knew we were going to into penalties, and I believed my boys will emerge victorious.”
“I have confidence in winning our opening game because we underwent very tensive and hard training sessions in preparation for the tournament. I believe we are going to make it to the final of the competition.”
“I believe in my boys but  I know getting to the final is not going to be easy, but hard work and determination will get us there,” Obi said.
He congratulated the organisers of the tournament, saying that the competition is giving the youths a background in the beautiful game.
