CAFCC: Eguma Attributes Slowness Of Players To Technical Issues

The technical manager of Rivers United FC of Port Harcourt Stanley Eguma, has attributed the slowness of his attackers in front of goal to technical issues.
According to him, his attackers are not fast on the ball after receiving the ball from the midfielder, adding that it is a technical indiscipline from his players.
Eguma stated this last Sunday,in his post match interview with sports journalists shortly after his boys (players) defeated Al Masry of Egypt 2-1 in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup (CAFCC) at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba.
The number one coach of the state also noted that the match was not a bad one, pointing out that, the first goal which was disallowed by the central referee should have boosted the moral of his team.
“It was not a bad game.
The issue is that the goal which we conceded was not expected.
I think the first goal scored that was disallowed was a goal, because it deflected from the opponent.
The slowness of the attackers in front of goal is a technical issue.
We are not faster on the ball,” Eguma stated.
He further explained that, the victory was a narrow one, adding that they will go back to Cairo in Egypt with insight to get more goals.
“We will not go there to defend rather we are going there to attack and score goals.
He disclosed that, playing in Enyimba International Stadium, Aba was not a disadvantage saying that, they have all the chances to score more goals.
“My boys played well in the first half, if we had not conceded that goal in the first half the second half would have been better.
We will go back and work on our weaknesses and improve on them before the second tie,” he stated.
