Congratulations to you guys Bendel insurance. You lots have done very well and have made us really proud. We know where football is played in Nigeria and Bendel is definitely one. Please no slacking going into next season. Odigie who to me is one of the best local coaches in Nigeria but very humble and never assuming, should focus on fashioning out an attacking method that produces lots of goals for the team. From my observation, it lies with players wrong position in front of opponents goal as well as bad shooting techniques.
