Vanuatu United eyes crucial push in Honiara round
BY RICHARD MENANOPO
Vanuatu United FC is determined to push up the table when the fourth round of the OFC Pro League kicks off in Honiara.
The Vanuatu side arrived in the Solomon Islands this week ahead of the next round of matches, knowing the upcoming fixtures could play a decisive role in their campaign.
Speaking briefly to media at Henderson International Airport, Vanuatu United player Bill Koltak said the team understands the importance of the upcoming round.
“This round four is very important for the team. We have to prepare well for round four,” Koltak said.
Vanuatu United currently sits in the middle of the league standings after the earlier rounds, with the point’s gap between several teams remaining tight. The Honiara matches therefore present a crucial opportunity for teams hoping to climb higher on the table.
Koltak said the squad will focus on strong preparation and hard work as they aim to improve their position.
“As I said, we will try our best to push up in this round four. We have to train hard. We have to prepare well for round four”, he said.
The Vanuatu midfielder comes into the round with confidence following an impressive performance in Round 3 where he scored two goals and also claimed a man-of-the-match award.
While remaining modest about his form, Koltak said he hopes to continue contributing positively for the team.
“Yes, we will do our best,” he said when asked if he could maintain the same level of performance.
With a strong Vanuatu community living in Honiara, Koltak also calls on supporters to come out and back the team during the upcoming fixtures.
“I would like to call on all supporters to come support team Vanuatu,” he said.
Round four of the OFC Pro League is expected to attract strong interest as teams battle for crucial points in the competition’s second half.
