Guangzhou R&F striker Aaron Samuel Pleased To Score In Win Against Hangzhou Greentown

Guangzhou R&F striker Aaron Samuel continued his rich vein of form, scoring in the second half of his club’s 2 - 0 win over Hangzhou Greentown on Sunday in the 16th round of matches in the Chinese Super League.

The Nigeria international was delighted that he kept his composure to score from the penalty spot in the 64th minute after his strike partner Hamdallah failed to convert against Henan Jianye four days ago.

“The coach asked me to take the penalty, we have two dedicated players given penalty responsibilities but I was told to take this one, ”said Aaron Samuel to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I was not nervous before the kick was taken because I was the best player on the pitch before then.

“We had chances to score in the first half but the goals refused to come. We dominated the game, I had a chance that hit the crossbar.”

Next up for Guangzhou R&F is an intriguing clash against Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, who recently bolstered their ranks with the signing of African stars Mohamed Sissoko and Demba Ba.

“We have to prepare well against Shanghai Greenland, and we hope to get the three points. It won’t be easy because they are a good team.” the Guangzhou R&F number 25 added.

Samuel has scored 4 goals in 10 CSL games in the 2015 campaign.
