Hull City’s Ola Aina Aims for Consecutive Wins Against Reading
Nigerian defender Ola Aina is determined to propel Hull City to a second consecutive victory as they prepare to face Reading in the English Football Championship on Saturday. The Tigers recently secured a morale-boosting 1-0 triumph over Blackburn Rovers in the Emirates FA Cup, and Aina is eager to extend the winning streak at the KCOM Stadium.
Speaking at a media conference, Aina acknowledged the significance of last weekend’s win and emphasized the need for the team to capitalize on the positive momentum. Hull City has yet to achieve back-to-back victories this season, and Aina views the upcoming clash against Reading as an opportunity to rectify that statistic.
Reflecting on their earlier encounter with Reading this season, Aina recalled a commendable first-half performance, though the team faced challenges in the latter part of the match. Despite the difficulties, he expressed confidence in Hull City’s ability to secure a favorable result on Saturday.
The defender also commended the impact of new manager Nigel Adkins, crediting him with a transformative influence on the team’s mindset since taking over from Leonid Slutsky last month. Aina believes that Adkins has instilled a positive and confident atmosphere within the squad, emphasizing the need for consistency and positive results.
Aina stated, “Right now, the coach has got us feeling confident and positive, and we all go into games with a real belief in our ability as a team to go out and win games.”
Acknowledging the team’s impressive performances against formidable opponents such as Derby, Leeds, and Fulham, Aina emphasized the importance of translating good football into consistent positive results. As Hull City continues to strive for success in the Championship, Aina expressed determination to deliver both performances and results under Adkins’ leadership.
