Niger Tornadoes coach, Mohammed Majin, has voiced his frustration following his team's 1-1 draw against Lobi Stars in their latest Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixture. The Minna-based side had to rely on a last-minute goal to salvage the draw in front of their home fans, a result that left Majin feeling disappointed.
Reflecting on the match, Majin explained that his team dominated in the first half and created several chances, but struggled to convert them. “We played very well, especially in the first half. We had our chances, but we couldn’t convert them. This is disappointing because we’ve spent time focusing on goal-scoring during training sessions, but it’s not translating into matches,” Majin told Niger Tornadoes media.
The coach also acknowledged the pressure of playing in front of a passionate home crowd. “Of course, I’m disturbed. You cannot be playing at home with a capacity crowd cheering you on and fail to win. It’s tough as a coach to see that happen," he said, emphasizing that the supporters deserve better.
Despite the setback, Majin remains focused on improving his team’s performance. “Football is all about winning. No matter how well you play, the result is what matters,” he stated. The inability to finish chances is something he is determined to address, especially during home games.
Majin assured fans that the team would continue working hard to turn things around. “We will keep pushing until we get it right, especially at home,” he promised, signaling his commitment to securing victories in future matches.
