Ishaku speaking in a chat with www.brila.net expressed strong optimism that he earnestly believes Olajide Omotayo wouldn’t have it impossible to edge Egyptian Omar Assar after having beaten another highly rated Egyptian Ahmed Saleh last year at the All Africa games in Morocco.
“If Jide could take a classy player like Saleh of Egypt out in Rabat, Omar is not a threat to him and so I am confident of him. If I can fear any player in Egypt it’s not Omar, its Saleh but Jide was able to handle him in Rabat so it’s not going to be something new, Table tennis anything can happen. But as for my boys, I am confident on them.”
