Warri Wolves vice-captain and defensive midfielder David Joseph says the Seasiders are determined to build on their first win of the season when they travel to face Niger Tornadoes in Wednesday’s NPFL matchday five clash at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna.
A Timely First Win
Warri Wolves beat Kwara United 1-0 on Sunday at the Southern Delta University Stadium in Ozoro, a result that lifted them to 17th in the table on three points, with a game still in hand. Joseph described the win as hugely important after the club had lost its opening two away fixtures, and said giving the home fans something to cheer in their first match at the venue made the three points feel especially welcome.
Drawing Confidence From History In Minna
Minna has historically been kind to Warri Wolves, who held Niger Tornadoes to a goalless draw there back in March. Joseph pointed to Plateau United’s recent 1-1 draw in the same venue as proof that visiting sides can get a result, arguing that with the right focus, his side could match that or even take all three points.
A Message To The Younger Players
Joseph rallied his teammates, particularly the younger members of the squad, to give their best in the tie, calling for unity, discipline and sharpness in front of goal. He promised fans a positive attitude from the team regardless of the result, insisting the effort and discipline shown on the pitch would ultimately determine the outcome.
