Finidi talk am, Rivers United don suffer bad for Cairo!

Port Harcourt, Rivers State – Na so e be oh! Rivers United just enter ground for CAF Champions League, and dem don catch serious wahala. Dem lose 3-0 to Pyramids FC wey be defending champions, and e no sweet for dem coach Finidi George mouth at all. This one dey happen for 30 June Stadium for Cairo, wey na serious business for football.

As Finidi dey talk after di match, e praise di team for di first half wey dem hold Pyramids for 0-0. E say dem follow di game plan dey okay, but di final pass no reach anywhere. (Chai, dem fit use am play drag race!)

“Di first half good well-well, but when di second half start, na there wahala begin. Di first goal wey we concede na big mistake. If you allow teams like Pyramids score, dem go don set, and dem fit score another one.” Finidi no hide am o, e know say mistake na mistake, and na im spoil dia chance.

Once dem enter second half, Rivers United no fit keep di momentum wey dem get again. Pyramids don collect like three goals for dem, and Finidi talk say from dat moment, di game don finish for dem side. “We know say to win di Champions League, you gats be really good. But our own na mistake we make for di first half.”

But no be all doom and gloom. E still talk say mental focus na di key, and say if dem fit sharpen dem mind, maybe di match go shift. “If we no make that mistake, di game fit last longer and nobody go sabi wetin go happen next.” Na true talk o, because sometimes na small thing fit change everything.

Now, Rivers United dey sit down for di bottom of Group B after di first match, and dem gats prepare for di next game wey go happen at home against Moroccan side RS Berkane. Finidi dey hope say dem go fit turn di table around for dat one. “We gats make sure say we play well for our home match. We dey plan to win this one, abeg.” Dem know say no fit play anyhow against Berkane, because dem na disciplined side.

Even with dis heavy shalaga, Finidi dey optimistic. “E no dey end here. We go sit down with di boys, talk to dem and help dem see wetin we fit do better. I dey sure say di next match go better.” Na so e dey, na football be dat. River Pride gats bounce back!
