Super 4: Eguma Blame Loss On Late Preparation, Fatigue

Stanley Eguma says fatigue and late start to the season were responsible for their 2-0 loss to Kano Pillars on Saturday.

 

Samuel Tswaya scored in the 6th minute and Christian Obiozor in the 9th minute.

 

“I knew we would not be at our best at this tournament,” Dolphins coach, Eguma said.

 

“Fatigue from the journey was one factor, since we arrived just last night. We also fought hard but we missed chances.

 

“We had little preparations because the boys arrived late to camp but we will use the Super 4 to improve on our fitness,” Eguma said.

 

Okey Emordi, coach of Pillars insists the team still has some more work to do to be fully ready for their Champions League contest in February.

 

“It’s not because won… thank God for that. I was unimpressed with the positional game of the players and their recovery after losing the ball. I expected more from my players.

 

“This competition is a prelude to our continental competition. We are lucky to have won the match anyway. IF it was Dolphins that got those early goals, then we would have been the losers.”

 

Dolphins continue in the Super 4 on Monday against the U23 team at 5pm.
