Wikki Tourists defender Mustapha Ibrahim has said his side are happy to face former coach Tunde Abdulrahman at the ongoing Nigeria National League (NNL) Super Four tournament in llorin.
Abdulrahman won promotion to the Nigerian top flight for the Bauchi-based side in the out gone 2013/14 NNL season but now in charge of promoted side, Kwara United.
Both sides were losers on match day 1 clash but will square up for the three points in Wednesday’s final day tie at the Kwara State Stadium.
Ibrahim said his side will use the encounter to prove to their former coach that Wikki Tourists have changed completely from the one he left behind.
“We’re happy with the opportunity to play against our former technical adviser, Tunde Abdulrahman, who is in charge of Kwara United.
“The clash offers us a rare chance to prove to him that we’ve moved on and now quite different from the side he once coached.
“We’re determined to do it in grand style with a convincing victory right there at their backyard.
“I and my teammates met and decided that if there is a match we won’t lose that’s the tie against Kwara United on Wednesday.
“I watched their match against 3SC and they showed themselves to be good side with quality players, too.
“We’re already aware the encounter will be difficult especially as both sides lost their first match.
“We played quite well against Gabros FC even though we lost on penalties but people acknowledged the good game we played.
“We’ll come out with a better improved performance believing it will be good enough to give us victory against Kwara United,” said Wikki Tourists captain to supersport.com.
Wikki Tourists lost 3-4 on penalties in Gabros FC in Monday’s match day 1 clash while Kwara United lost 1-2 to 3SC.
