Reflecting on the success of the inaugural 1xBet Cup, Coach Ayo shared his lasting impressions of the event. “My impression of last year’s tournament was very wonderful. The memory still lingers in my mind. I can’t forget it in a hurry. It was about the best community shield that has been played in Lagos State, as far as I know. It was so colourful, with good officiating and excellent packaging. Everything was top notch,” he remarked.
Under his leadership, Bariga FC is rigorously preparing for the upcoming tournament. “Our preparations are on top gear; this is our third week of training since we resumed. We are hoping to defend our cup with everything we’ve got. We’ve got all the boys, though they are not very known. But, you know, this is Shomolubariga, where the raw materials are. We fine-tune the raw materials and we give you Ramba Samba,” Coach Ayo stated, emphasizing his commitment to honing local talent.
Coach Ayo’s dedication to his team and the sport is evident in his meticulous approach to training and his strategic vision for the competition. His ability to motivate and develop young players has been a key factor in Bariga FC’s success and continues to drive the team forward.
In addition to his preparations, Coach Ayo expressed his gratitude to the organizers of the 1xBet Cup. “My message to them is to tell them, thank you,” he said, recognizing their efforts in providing a platform for grassroots football and supporting local talent.
As the 1xBet Cup approaches, Coach Ayo’s leadership and vision will be crucial in Bariga FC’s quest to retain their title. Fans and participants alike are eager to see how his team performs under his guidance, making this year’s tournament a highly anticipated event in the local football calendar.
