But without further ado, the Oyo State born attacker gave his opinion on the big game against Sunshine Stars on Wednesday evening saying “Sunshine Stars is a big team and I’m happy to play against them but I’m sure we will get all three points tomorrow. We played against them during pre-season in Port-Harcourt and they won but tomorrow they need to see a different MFM FC side.
“They will come with pressure but we have to calm down and show confidence because we are at home and we are a good side like them. They have many big names in their team but we have young boys who are ready to prove themselves that they are also good players,” Adeniji added.
Having scored thrice this season, Adeniji is not in anyway getting carried away or resting on his oars declaring to scored 20 goals this season. Any personal target(s) for the season? “It’s 20 goals,” he said confidently. Really? “Yeah. I am very sure I can do it because with God all things are possible,’ he added.
