Alagie
Sarr, head coach of B.K Milan has said that his players need to fight to be
part of the team and take ownership as they lost their three consecutive GFF
First Division League games so far.
Following
their 2-1 defeat to Elite United formerly Sporting Real on Saturday, during
their week-three fixtures of the GFF Topflight league played at the Father
Gough football field in Manjai, said his team needs commitment and ownership to
be part of the team.
Elite
United striker, Kalilou Jarju scored a brace in the 40th minute of the first
half and in the 86th minute of the second half to give his side their first
maximum points, while B.K Milan pulled
one back but that wasn’t enough to restore purity as they conceded their
three consecutive defeats in the league.
Coach
Sarr, whose side lost against Waa Banjul and Tallinding United before losing to
Elite United further said his players need to fight to be part of the team and
take ownership, adding that they don’t even talk about tactics but players to
commit themselves for the team.
According
to him, lack of commitment is the reason his team is losing, adding that they
need to fight to make sure they score goals in order to get the maximum points.
Saikou
Manjang, head coach of Elite United
said he feels relieved after
defeating B.K Milan and collecting their first maximum points in the country’s
top flight league.
“Winning
this game will really help us a lot
because we were in the 9th position and now getting four points would put us at
the middle of the table,” he said
According
to him, it wouldn’t be an easy task with the young players he has to compete
for the league in their first season in the topflight division, noting that
what they want in the season is to develop players and prepare them for the
future.
“I
cannot say that we are here to win the league in our first season but all that we want is to develop players
this season and start going for the league next season,” he said.
He
said their main objective this season is to remain in the First Division league
and look forward to what would happen in the future
