Abdulrahman Taiwo, who joined the team at the last minute, completed the initial training today with the team during the final transfer day. In the cabin, he met former teammates and several compatriots.
"I'm happy to be here and full of anticipation. I have already played in this beautiful stadium several times, so I feel at home here." said the 24-year-old forward, who played in the Fortuna League from 2018 to 2021. He successively played for FC Nitra, DAC Dunajská Streda and Zemplín Michalovce. Paradoxically, he scored against Spartak Trnava for all three clubs.
"I remember it very well. In fact, it was even the case that I scored here every time I played in this stadium. I don't know, maybe I have some strange connection with this stadium." Taiwo was smiling.
He first played in Trnava in 2018 with Nitra, and thanks to his goal, Nitra won 3:2. A year later, Spartak beat Dunajská Streda at home 3:1, and Taiwo scored the guests' only goal. Years ago at home they won 2:1 in Trnava Michalovce and both goals were scored by Taiwo. His last visit to the Anton Malatinský Stadium was last spring, when we beat Dunajské Streda 3:2 in a dramatic match with Ristovský's goal in extra time. Even before that, Taiwo equalized at 2:2.
Fans believe that his association with the Trnava stadium will continue and he will score goals again. This time to the right goal. "For me, the most important thing is that we win as a team. That is my main goal, if I contribute to it with a goal, it will be a nice bonus."
Spartak will next play on the field of Trenčín and we will see if Taiwo plays his first minutes in the red and black jersey there. "If it was up to me, I could start tomorrow. I'm ready," Spartak's newest addition did not hide his determination.
