Christian Pyagbara has said he is under pressure to fill the vacuum created in the team by the exit of Emem Eduok.
Coach Stanley Eguma said the Flying Eagles striker is Eduok’s direct replacement and he must prove his worth.
Last season, Pyagbara scored 14 goals for Dolphins city rivals Sharks, while Eduok fired home 20 for Dolphins.
“There is pressure but you can’t let that affect you. If I do not score I will provide assists,” said Pyagbara.
“You do not necessarily have to score many goals but as a striker you have to work hard as you can either score or assist.
“My target however this season is to score 20 goals.”
Pyagbara also said it was a tough decision to dump Sharks for Dolphins, knowing the rivalry that exists between the two Port Harcourt clubs.
“It was not easy but I had to take the decision by going for what I wanted,” he said.
“I had been at Sharks for two seasons and won nothing so I wanted a change of environment.
“I weighed my odds and Dolphins always go far in tournaments so I chose to join them for the Confederation Cup.”
