After the incredible performance of his players, helping him win a trophy in his Fulham career, the ecstatic manager, Marco Silva was generous as he gave his players 2 days off to celebrate the victory.
They deserved the rest.
Besides, Fulham's next game was in March 2nd against Brighton in the league at home, so even after the 2 days of rest, they still had 2 days to train and get up to speed for the game.
2 days to train and prepare for a league game was cutting it close but Coach Marco Silva was ready to play the gamble.
Besides, he felt that the vibe in his team was greater than ever before. With some effort, his team should be able to push over the line.
The next morning, waking up and getting the news from his coach, Sam was even more excited as the first thing he did was cancel his family's trip back to Nigeria. This was an opportunity to spend more time with his family in London and Sam was not about to waste it.
