Heartland FC Technical Adviser, Christian Obi has challenged his players to be alive to their responsibilities and strive to redouble their efforts towards getting a favourable result on Sunday against Kano Pillars in a NPFL Matchday 19 tie.

A firebrand Naze Millionaires scored two away goals in Kaduna but still ended up on the losing side to Niger Tornadoes last recently in Kaduna after some defensive errors but Obi counselled his players to put the loss behind them and concentrate on securing a win in Kano.

Obi who lost his first game since the start of his second stint in charge of the team wants the players to approach their weekend NPFL Matchday 19 tie with Kano Pillars with the seriousness and attention it requires to ensure the game ends positively.

“It was a fair performance from the boys but they must sit up and try to be more focused for the entirety of the game. We scored two goals for the first time in an away game this season but we committed some mistakes in defence and let in goals that we could have avoided,” Obi told the club’s Media.

“The players just need to redouble their efforts and ensure they play with absolute focus. The game with Kano Pillars is a game we must win. We must go all out for it.”

Meanwhile, Heartland FC defeated Global Sports FC of Nekede 4-0 in a tune up game and have settled in, in Kano ahead of their game with Kano Pillars.

Though Sai Masu Gida have a slight edge over the Naze Millionaires in this fixtures head to head with six wins as against four had by the Owerri side. The game had also produced three draws.
