Brazilian Striker Anticipates Prolific Partnership with ‘Speedy Odemwingie’ at Madura United

Madura United’s Brazilian forward, Thiago Furtuoso, has expressed confidence in forming a dynamic attacking duo with Nigerian veteran, Peter Osaze Odemwingie, aiming to rack up an impressive goal tally throughout the season. Odemwingie, 36, leads Madura United’s scoring charts with an impressive 13 goals in 18 league appearances this season.

Despite Odemwingie’s recent four-game goalless streak, the former Lokomotiv Moscow, West Bromwich Albion, and Stoke City player remains a formidable presence in the Indonesian league, securing the second spot in the top scorers chart, trailing leader Sylvano Comvalius of Bali United by four goals.

Furtuoso, who recently joined Madura United from Indonesian first division club Bhayangkara in July, lauded Odemwingie’s playing style, particularly praising his exceptional speed. Reflecting on their budding partnership, Furtuoso expressed optimism, stating, “Peter is a player with speed. I just practiced with Peter for four days. Going forward, our partnership will definitely produce many goals.”

As Madura United continues its campaign, currently standing third in the league table with 36 points, just two points behind leaders Persipura Jayapura after 20 rounds of league play, the prospect of Furtuoso and Odemwingie’s lethal combination promises an exciting phase for the team’s attack. Fans eagerly anticipate witnessing their synergy unfold, anticipating a surge in goals and a potential rise in the league standings.
