Bashir targets double-digit goals tally for Nasarawa Utd

By Akeem Lawal
AFTER scoring his sixth goal in a Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matchday 25 encounter against Enyimba at the Lafia Township Stadium on Sunday, Nasarawa United forward, Abdulrahman Bashir is optimistic of reaching double-figure goals tally once again this season, sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.

Bashir who scored 15 goals last season but has missed about eight matches this season, no thanks no injury, returned to scoring form by hunting down his former team to hand the Lafia landlords the three points.

In a chat with sportsbiz247.blogspot.com, the former ABS sensational striker said he is happy to score his sixth goal this season and fourth goal in six appearances against the People’s Elephant.

 “I feel so happy that I was the one to score the winning goal. This is not the first time I will score against them. I played against the three times while I was at ABS and scored two goals. Also I’ve played three times and scored two goals against them for Nasarawa United. I didn’t want to jubilate when I scored against them on Sunday, but you know when emotion sets in, you may not be able to hold it. That was why I had to celebrate a little and then stopped to show my respect to the team.   

“I will give credit to my teammates too for fighting till the end to ensure that we secure the victory.

“Though I missed like eight matches this season, I still hope to score up to 10 goals before the end of the season.

“We are fully focused on at least finishing in the top three if we are not able to secure the title. We will continue to fight till the end. We want our fans to continue to give us their support and hopefully we will not disappoint them,” Bashir told sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
