BY KATE OBODO<\/p>\n

Technical adviser of Heartland Football Club of Owerri, Lodewijk De Kriuf has revealed his plans for the team ahead next year\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

The Dutch tactician tells Inside Out Premier League that his targets for next season are winning the 2011\/2012 league, winning the CAF Confederations Cup and as well being able to defend the FA Cup which he led the team to win a couple of months ago.<\/p>\n

Heartland team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He said efforts have been made in building a formidable team that will deal with teams within and outside the shores of the country, adding that the selection of players based on merit rather than sentiments.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cThe FA Cup is history now. What we should be focusing on is how to do well and get results in any major competition billed for next year. I think that the future is bright for the team, but we have to upgrade especially on our position in the league and the other competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am trying to improve the fortunes of the team next year . We are doing everything possible to re-organise the team and have a formidable squad by bringing in some key and quality players and allow some other players go.<\/p>\n

We have been able to scout for players, evaluating their psychological well-being and integrating them into our plan.<\/p>\n

And we still hope to get more quality players, especially strikers that will add more value to the team. I hope to see a firm and strong team that will make Owerri people and Nigerians us proud again,\u201d Kriuf assured .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
