Bendel Insurance Fail To Capitalise On Numerical Advantage
The Bendel Insurance technical boss also explained why his team failed to take advantage of their numerical superiority after Warri Wolves were reduced to 10 men due to injury.
“The team played well to instructions. Warri Wolves were one man down, so they had to stand their ground and make sure they didn’t concede,” he added.
“I think that was favourable to them but not good for us at all.”
Assistants’ Touchline Presence Explained
Boboye further clarified why his assistants were frequently seen on the touchline during the encounter.
“My assistants are coaches too. Sometimes I give them the chance to stand in the technical area to pass instructions to the players.”
