Rivers United Match-Winner Obomate Frederick Reveals He Has Been Studying Deco

Rivers United midfielder, Obomate Frederick has identified former F.C. Barcelona superstar, Deco as the motivation behind his exceptional freekicks. <br /><br />The midfielder curled home a beauty in the 65th minute of Rivers United&rsquo;s 1-0 win over champions, Enyimba in a well-fought Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game decided at the Yakubu Gowon (former Liberation) stadium, Port Harcourt on Sunday. <br /><br />Obomate says he always works hard in training to perfect his skills at hitting a pin head from range but stated in no unclear terms that Deco remains his go to guy.<br /><br />&ldquo;(Before I took the free kick), I knew the hour had come (to score). I scored from a similar position against Warri Wolves and Enugu Rangers (last season).<br /><br />&ldquo;I give God the glory for the goal because I knew I was going to score.<br /><br />&ldquo;I practice free kicks in training and Deco was the player I learn from, just by watching him on television,&rdquo; Obomate said.<br /><br />The midfielder has now gone into the record books as the first player to score for Rivers United in a competitive fixture.
