Kindly introduce yourself to the News Agency
Good day, and thank you for having me. My name is Adetunmbi Oyekanmi. I’m the sport director of Ariste.
This is your debut inter-level tournament. What is your confidence level going in?
We’re going into the tournament with a balanced level of confidence. It’s our first appearance at this level, so we respect all the teams in the competition, but we also believe strongly in our preparation and the quality within the squad.
You won all your games during the pre-season in a dominating fashion, do you think that adds to your momentum?
It definitely helps in terms of confidence and team chemistry. However, we understand that tournament football is different. Pre-season gave us a good base, but now it’s about translating that into consistent performances when it matters most.
All eyes are on your team, do you believe you can go all the way and win the tournament?
We’re not getting ahead of ourselves. Our focus is on taking it one game at a time. If we stay disciplined, execute our plans, and maintain consistency, we believe we can go very far in this tournament.
Is there any player in particular we should look out for, that you think will cause problems for your opponents?
We have talented individuals, but our strength is in the collective. We play as a unit, and that makes us difficult to break down and dangerous.. going forward. I’d say keep an eye on the team as a whole.
Do you have any message to your players and Ariste supporters before the tournament starts?
To my players: stay focused, trust the process, and give everything on the pitch.To our supporters: Your backing means a lot to us. Keep supporting the team, and we’ll do everything we can to make you proud
