Despite his side sitting at the rock bottom of the 2023/24 Leone Rock Premier League with 15 points from 19 league games, Abdulrahman Turay, Head coach of Kholifa Stars has revealed they’ll be seeking revenge against Bo Rangers in their match day-20 clash.
Coach Turay who joined the Magburaka based club in February with the primary task to save them from relegation has disclosed his sole aim in the match underway later today on Bo Rangers home soil, is to seek revenge of their last 1-0 home loss to the league holders and current table toppers.
“This match is very important to us and at this point in time every point matters to us which is why I’ve told the players to give their best against Bo Rangers to at all cost avoid a defeat,” he noted.
The former Wusum Stars coach furthered that he’s aware his fans are thirsty for a win but he’s appealing for their continued support and encouragement to the players.
Asked if he’s under pressure leading to the match, the Kholifa Stars coach said “no I’m not under pressure, there are still more games to go and I think we’ll not be relegated at the end of the season which is my primary task here.
“We’ll be playing the back to back league winners and current champions who’ve had a good season so far but that will not scare us to do what we’re capable of doing when we meet them on Sunday evening,” he confidently noted.
A win for will be Kholifa Star third in the season. They’re four points behind 17th place Mighty Blackpool will only reduce their point gap but will keep them stagnant on league’s log bottom until their next match while a defeat will only worsen their run in the league.
However, hot favourite Bo Rangers who’ve only lost two of their 19 league matches and sits top with 41 points two more than their closest contenders FC Kallon with 39 points from 20 matches, on other hand will still be topping the table irrespective of their match day-20 home clash outcome against league debutants Kholifa Stars who they defeated 1-0 in Magburaka on November 12, last year in the first leg.
