NIGER Tornadoes central defender, Martin Iko James has
charged his team mates to put up an impressive outing when they host Sunshine
Stars in the Matchday 15 of the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL on
Sunday.
Tornadoes will hope to stretch their resurgent home form
when both sides meet at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja.
James, who is in his debut season in the NPFL with
Tornadoes after his famous move from Kogi United said the message in camp was
to up the game and get a total victory against a troubling Sunshine Stars who
are struggling to found their rhythm into the season.
"We have been fired up to win on Sunday (against
Sunshine Stars) we know the win would push us up on the table and I've been
telling my team mates to take the match serious, even more than the previous
ones.
"We know they are struggling is time, what they want
is one good result on the road to spring up, but we are not ready to make that
happen for them here, what's on my mind and we are talking about now is how to
break them down and get our victory, I believe it's possible because we have a
young and talented squad that can get it done," James he said.
The graduate of Public Administration from the Kogi State
Polytechnic had to wait till Matchday Nine before making his NPFL debut in the
Matchday Nine 2-0 defeat to Plateau United in Jos.
But James has so far cement his position in Coach
Abubakar Bala's starting berth with impressive performances, a feat he
described down to focus, dedication and divine.
"I'm still in the dream land with my first season in
NPFL, I never thought it would be this interesting for me. I waited for my time
as I know the coach has lots of confidence in me.
"I believe in myself and God, may be He's making the
meaning of my name working for me (Iko-Ojo in native Igala language means God's
Time) and I really want to continue do well for Tornadoes, to get more games
and positive results," he said.
