3SC 'll not be relegated - Oladapo
Despite the team's precarious standing on the table, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) will not be relegated from the Globacom Premier League.
This optimism was expressed by defender, Olufemi Oladapo who boasted that the club will end the season in a comfortable position. Speaking moments after the Ibadan soccer lords slumped to a
0-1 loss to Akwa United in a match day 27 tie decided in Uyo, the former Flying Eagles player said he and his colleagues would put in whatever it takes to ensure the club survive the drop.
''It is quite disheartening that we are where we are on the log at the moment, but I am cocksure we will not relegated. ''Our main focus now is to secure as many points as possible in the remaining matches, both at home and away, thank God we have two straight home matches which we hope to win so as to leapfrog on the table,'' he stated.
Oladapo, a member of the home based Super Eagles squad, expressed worries that positive results have not been coming in for the team in spite of the players' good performance
during matches.
''Honestly, I cannot really explain what is happening, our position on the log is not a true reflection of our performance, but we don't want to give excuses. As professional players, we have resolved to fight till
the end,'' declared Oladapo.
