Technical manager of Rivers United, Stanley Eguma says
there is still a lot of work to be done as he watched his charges thrash
amateur club, Grassroots Hunters of Oyigbo 10-0 in a practice game on
Wednesday.
The game was United’s first in pre-season as last
season’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) runners-up shape up for
the 2016/17 campaign.
Eguma says the major objective at this stage is ‘to put
the boys in shape’ ahead of a season that will see the ‘Pride of Rivers’
campaign on three fronts.
“We are trying to put the boys in shape as part of our
pre-season exercise.
“Most of the boys just came back from their holidays
and this game represented a good test for them.
“We still have a lot to do as we need to work on the
physical and mental fitness of the team,” Eguma told the club’s official
website, www.riversunitedfc.com.ng.
Rivers United finished in second place in the NPFL last
season.
They are one of the two clubs that will represent
Nigeria in the 2017 Caf Champions League.
