Obadaki got the Harmony Warriors their equaliser in the 2nd half of the game on the night. He expressed to HWB that he was not disappointed with the loss to Shooting Stars given the preparedness of team for the Super 4 tourney.
"It's a nice game. I never expected us to play up to this level because Shooting Stars are actually ahead of us (in terms of pre-season matches) for the past two monthes.
"They've played in two pre-season tournaments (before the NNL Super 4) of which we have not played in any. And all the coaches we have now just came on board, it was not up to 2 weeks they all got the new job. So I say kudos to the coaches that they got us to play as good as we did.
"We lost based on lack of luck. We tried a lot going forward but we were not lucky enough to get the required number of goals needed to execute a victory," the left back said.
When asked on his assessment of the team set up of new players and the old ones still in the team towards the new NPFL season, Obadaki talked about the need for the coaches to help the team play in unity as one with the loads of talents possessed by each player.
"We are just building a new team from scratch for the new season. Given our level of improvement I think we will go very far in the coming season but there are still lots of rooms for improvement.
"We have lots of talented players in our team, both the retained ones and the new comers. All we need is synchronization to be able to read each others games so we can play well together," Obadaki said.
Kwara United are set to face an away match at Dolphins of Port Harcourt in their first match of the new NPFL season slated to kick off on March 7. But they first have a battle for the third place of the NNL Super 4 with Wikki Tourist of Bauchi on Wednesday..
