Stanley Eguma, technical manager of Rivers United, says a win over newly-promoted ABS FC in Thursday’s rescheduled Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) match is vital for their hopes of improving their position on the log.
United’s results in recent weeks have been far from impressive and the club is currently in 19th place in the 20-team NPFL.
The experienced trainer has now underlined the importance of garnering maximum points against the new boys at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium on Thursday.
“We are really preparing for the game (against ABS because) at this stage we need good results,” Geguma told supersport.com
“We need to win, especially at home; our position on the log is low and we really need to get these three points to start moving up.
“I know ABS is a very strong, young and energetic team; they have a lot of youthful players and can cause an upset on Thursday.
“We have to work very hard and not take them for granted.
“We have to work hard, put our act together and secure all three points against ABS; that’s our mission now,” he said.
