King Osanga upbeat about Nasarawa United’s second round NPFL turnaround

By Wale Mustapha

Nasarawa United striker King Osanga has expressed confidence that the club would make significant impact in the second round of Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL which will see them remain in the top-flight.

The Solid Miners commenced the 2022/2023 abridged season on a wrong footing, suffering six defeats, winning two games and drawing one in the Group ‘A’ which has placed them on 9th position, with only seven points.

With the second phase of the league set to commence late March, Osanga who featured in five out of nine games for Nasarawa United in the first stanza, scoring twice, assured fans that they would turn around the fortune.

“We are battle ready for the second half of the league, even though our start to the season wasn’t good enough,” Osanga told the club media.

“We are bringing our heads together for the survival of the team. Hopefully, we are up and ready for the second stanza. We work as a collective team. No tree can form a forest.

“I will always do my best by bringing my wealth of experience to take the team out of the position we ended in the first stanza. We don’t deserve to be where we are in the league. You know the history of the Club, but we can finish among the best at the end of the season.

“We will approach each game as it comes, and this begins from our next game away to Remo Stars whom we beat 2-0 in our last home game before the league went on a break.

“Regarding boosting the team with some new legs, I think it’s a welcome development and we hope that whoever is brought into the team would add to the progress of the team.”
