Coach Kabiru Suleiman Dogo has hinted that he needs to beef up the
defence and attacking options of Sunshine Stars before going into the new
season.
The former Nasarawa United gaffer, who stated this in
Akure, said the ongoing Gold Cup preseason tournament has afforded him the
opportunity to access his team ahead of the new Nigeria Professional Football
League season.
"I must commend the organiser of the Gold Cup
Tourney for bringing it to Akure," said the former ABS FC handler.
"It is a good platform for me, my assistants and
other participating teams to test the players.
"For the ones we invited, they have been sweating it
out in the training sessions with a view to impress me and my assistants and
also know if they can fit into our playing patterns.
"I have only trained with the players in less than a
week and I have seen the lose ends in the team.
"The squad that played in the game against Lobi
Stars were the ones I met on ground. I was quite satisfied with their
performance but a lot still needs to be done if Sunshine Stars is to compete
well this season.
"I hope to shop for strikers and defenders to give
team the needed options at the back and off course attack."
Recall the Owena Waves lost its top scorer, Sikiru Alimi
to Lobi Stars.
Alimi will be wearing the colours of the Makurdi side
this season in the Nigeria Professional Football League and CAF Champions
League.
Sunshine Stars, who defeated MFM FC in their second match
of the tourney on Sunday, will now meet FC Ebedei in their third match on
Monday by 8 am.
