RoPS Manager Heaps Praise On Obilor, Alison

Despite conceding 3 goals in their opening 2 games in the Finnish championship, RoPS manager Juha Malinen has boasted that the central defensive partnership of Friday Obilor and Ndukaku Alison is the best in the league.

Both Nigerians who are on the radar of teams overseas are spending their third season with the Finnish Cup winners.

“It is the league’s strongest and fastest defensive partnership. They speak their own language on the ground that others do not understand the game situation. They have good strengths, ” Juha Malinen told suomifutis.com.

Celebrated Finnish sports magazine Urheilusanomat rated Faith Friday Obilor as the third best player in the Premier Division in the 2013 season.

Few seasons ago, the 23 - year - old stopper was courted by Norwegians Tromso plus Mjällby IF of Sweden.
