“We’ve psyched up the players to appreciate that every match will be tougher than the previous one, hence the need for them not to be complacent but be combat-ready to stay on course so far as our target is concerned,” he revealed.
He said having defeated all their three opponents so far, Faisal had become the target of all teams in the Ghana Premier League (GPL), hence the need to adopt a tactical approach that would put them ahead of their opponents to help maintain their 100 per cent record in their fourth league match .
“After winning our first three matches, we know that we have become the target for other clubs, so we need to intensify our effort. We are not going to be complacent in any way, but will display high performance match after match,” he observed.
“We now appreciate that our performance in each game should be better than the previous one so we would not be found wanting so far as our target to finish in a respectable position in the league is concerned,” he said.
Coach Nuredeen explained that unlike last season, they had attached much importance to the organisation structure of the team, recruited quality players and had also been making much input into their preparation towards matches.
