“My club is regular when you talk of clubs being regular in Lagos FA Cup, but my target this year at least we want to win two or three matches to show Lagos football fans that we are equal to the task.In the past few years,we normally crash out in the first round but I must say that my players went to training tour to England and Holland late last year and i am happy that they are fastly improved and they are ready to shock big teams in this year Lagos FA Cup,”he said.
Commenting if his players are in camp now, Salaudeen said his players are not in camp but he monitored their performance through phone call.
“I monitor my players through their coversation with me on phone.Of course they do personal training and i am satisfied with their level of fitness now,”he said.
