Rivers United’s technical manager, Stanley Eguma has warned his players to concentrate on themselves in their final two league games of the season.
United surrendered top spot on Sunday to Enugu Rangers following a 0-1 defeat to Wikki Tourists in Bauchi as the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) entered match day 34.
United will fall short in their aspirations of winning the NPFL title at the first time of asking even if they win their next two matches of the season, as long as Enugu Rangers win theirs but Eguma says his charges must hold up their own end of the deal first by beating Abia Warriors and Akwa United in their final games of the season.
“At this stage of last season, Dolphins, my former club were last on the table and almost everybody, including most of our fans felt we would be relegated.
“We all saw how it ended (Dolphins escaped the drop on the final day of the season following a 2-2 draw with Shooting Stars) and it was most because I am a positive person that never loses hope in any venture I go into.
“I agree that we no longer have our destiny in our own hands but it will not be wise to concentrate on what (the current NPFL leaders, Enugu Rangers) do in their next two league games.
“This is football where it is never over until it is over.
“The most important thing now is to try to win our next two games against Abia Warriors and Akwa United.
“These games will be very difficult as Abia Warriors are currently fighting against relegation while Akwa United is a very good side and we will playing that game away from home,” he told RIVERS UNITED MEDIA.
