Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re back to winning ways as Rovers are rolled into the Lagoon!
On an evening Stationery Stores FC needed to do a few things that had little or no room for errors, the team performed to the delight of a respectable crowd of supporters at The Flaming Arena. What were those things? Well, it needed to subject its new team to real match conditions and come out of it unscathed.
It needed to introduce its new coach to the Lagos fans and it needed to re-assert its authority on the Onikan Waterfront in order to send a warning to other teams who will visit the Arena henceforth.
Indeed Stores FC succeeded in doing all of those within a space of 92 minutes…ninety minutes of playing time plus two extra minutes added by the match officials. It “rolled” UNICEM Rovers FC into the Lagoon opposite the stadium—just as its vociferous fans asked it to do—sinking the visitors from Calabar by two goals to nothing.
It did so parading several new players who re-enacted the tiki-taka brand of soccer that the Adebajo Babes are famed for and to the delight of the impressively filled stadium.
Then it fronted Fatai Amoo, its new coach, to the media and the fans, in what ostensibly is a warning to the other NNL teams that the Flaming Flamingoes are bouncing back under the tutelage of one of the most tactically gifted gaffers on the Nigerian soccer scene. Stationery Stores Football Club is back to winning ways and in the words of Fatai Amoo at the post match conference, “it is going to fight for every single point remaining in the season.”
Here are some photos from today’s game. Enjoy…Up Super. Triple Flaming. Gbogbo wa l’ore Adebajo!!! Iyo!!! ©Superstoresfansworldwide
