London, England – E be like say Marco Silva no wan rest for Fulham as im don talk say dem fit still break record for this season. Dis one no be joke o, especially after wetin happen last season wey dem sabi take third position for top-flight points tally. Na so dem go dey look forward to their match against Brentford wey go happen this Saturday.
Last season Fulham collect serious whip from Manchester City for dia last game, 2-0. Instead make Silva dey mourn, na so him dey look how e go take push dem forward dis season. Dem suppose collect one European ticket, but because of five losses for dia last seven games, that dream go come hard.
Silva don already gather im boys, tell dem make dem sharpen dia game and aim high again this season. He wan make dem break dia own record wey dem just set. But abeg, e no go easy, especially dis summer wey transfer market show dem pepper. Na only backup goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte dem bring come, and e still dey vex say dem no fit get more players to help the team.
As e be, di gaffer see say dem dey lag behind other clubs wey dey make better signings. Silva talk say: ‘I no wan change because I believe my boys fit do am, even if na only last minute signings we get. We go get ambition, we no go lower our expectation because market just show us wetin we no need.’ (Abeg, Silva, no vex you go need more than just motivation for dis league o!)
Di coach dey emphasize how dem fit improve, especially after dem don spend plenty time for di middle of di table last season, dey try grab European places. ‘If we fit break dis points tally again, for sure we go dey for di top half of di table. Den we fit fight for something important,’ Silva yarn. No be small talk o.
Dem don add Kevin and Samuel Chukwueze to di squad just before di deadline day, and fans don dey shout for dem to start di game this weekend. Kevin don show say e be player wey sabi run with di ball and deliver one or two chances, so e go make sense if we see am for pitch on Saturday!
Silva sabi wetin e dey do, no be dem for him top level experience. E don manage top players before, and now e dey work on how to bring di best out of Kevin. ‘E dey surprise plenty people, especially after wetin him do for im debut last week. I dey look forward to see how e go combine with di team,’ him add.
For dis matter of VAR wey dey vex plenty people, Silva don talk say, ‘We go just focus on wetin we fit control and avoid di things wey dey disturb us. We just want play better football.’ (He don sabi clean way to handle di wahala). E go be nice to see how Fulham go perform against Brentford as dem dey prepare for di derby. Dem don score 13 goals in past three derbies at Craven Cottage. Na only make dem use dia head and eyes fit work if dem want win.
Wetin remain na make we all tune in for di game on Saturday night as we dey expect more palm wine and laughter come Fulham vs Brentford match!
