Tornadoes Gaffer Biffo Relieved After Victory
Niger Tornadoes head coach, Abdullahi Biffo said he was a relieved man
after he master-minded a slim one-nil win over FC Zamfara in the week
two of the Nigeria National League on Saturday.<br /><br />Tornadoes won the tension-soaked match via a lone strike from Lukman Mohammed at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna.<br /><br />“It<font size="3">’</font>s
a relief, we can<font size="3">’</font>t hide it,” said Biffo after his men earned their
first win of the season after the week one match against Ranchers Bees
was moved.<br /><br /><span style="" class="notranslate">“</span>For me it<font size="3">’</font>s not about a relief of winning but for me it<font size="3">’</font>s about the team and the fans who came to support their darling team.”<br /><br /><span style="" class="notranslate">“</span>We
have broken the ice and can continue the good work in our next match
against FRSC in Abuja. I am happy we got three points and can<font size="3">’</font>t ask for
more.”<br /><br />Biffo, though, conceded it was not a consummate display but was pleased all the same.<br /><br /><span style="" class="notranslate">“</span>In the first half, we passed the ball around and looked sharp. In the second stanza, we didn<font size="3">’</font>t play well but what matters most in winning.<br /><br />The former Giwa boss added: <span style="" class="notranslate">“</span>We
deserved the chance, we deserved the break. We have been playing very
well in traing and I told the guys that they will break the ice and I am
happy we started the season on a positive note.”<br /><br />Tornadoes are
third on the Group A2 table with 3 points from one game - 1 point behind
leaders FRSC, who have played an extra match.
