AFC Leopards Nigerian reveals special bond with Webo

Not so often in football will you find a quintessential relationship between a goalkeeper trainer and a forward but AFC Leopards talisman Fasanami Olaniyi Ojo has struck an unusual bond with the club’s goalkeeper trainer Lawrence Webo.

Ojo has so far netted two goals which came in successive games against Mathare United but run half the length of the pitch to embrace Webo after notching the goals. 

Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Ojo revealed that Webo has thrown his unwavering support behind him which he repaid him by celebrating his two goals with him. 

"He has been the one who pushes me, even in training, he always encourages me not to put my head down and that I should always be positive. So far I'm helping the team and we are getting some points which is the best thing for a player but he never gave up on me that is why each time I score I always like celebrating with him," said Ojo.

The burly forward joined AFC Leopards just before the start of the 2021/2022 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL), days after Ingwe’s transfer embargo was lifted. 

Ojo had endured a long barren spell at the Den as he took 15 games to bag his first goal with Ingwe short of a prolific goal-scoring forward with the mantle falling to Eugene Mukangula.
