Stanley Eguma, the technical manager of Rivers United, has expressed optimism after the Super Six draws on June 2.
Despite that the NPFL Champions will be facing strong opponents, Eguma believes that with hard work, his team can accomplish their goals.
Speaking ahead of their opening match, Eguma acknowledged the immense pressure on his team as they were regarded as the “cynosure of all eyes” in the competition.
Stanley Eguma emphasized that his team will need to go beyond their limits as everyone aims to defeat them and claim the trophy.
Eguma expects a formidable challenge from their first opponent, Sunshine Stars, particularly because they have always been strong when playing against Rivers United.
