We Play Under Pressure At Home

The technical manager of Rivers United Football Club of Port Harcourt, Stanley Eguma, has said that playing at home is more difficult in Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) this 2019/2020 season.
According to him, his players this season played under pressure anytime they are playing in front of their home fans.
Eguma, said this  last Sunday while briefing sports journalists shortly after his side beat Sunshine Stars 2-1 in the match day 10 of the NPFL at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt.
“We enjoy playing away than home. We played good football away than home,” Eguma said.
The number one coach in the state expressed joy over the outcome of the match.
Eguma commended his boys (players) saying that the game was not an easy one adding that every team in the League is strong.
This is the first united victory against Sunshine since 2016.
“We prepared very hard for the game so that we can take the maximum three points. We conceded early goal which would have destabilised us but the players rise up to the game.
“After we lost to Akwa United in Uyo, we came back, worked hard and resolved that we have to beat Sunshine Stars,” Eguma explained.
United got the winning goal in the 47th minute through a spots kicked by Konan N’gouan.
The pride of the state has played ten matches won four, drew three, lost three, currently occupying seventh position on the log with 15 points.
