As Rivers United prepares to welcome Wydad AC of Morocco in their CAF Champions League second preliminary round first leg match, star player Joseph Onoja has maintained that he and his colleagues are just thinking about themselves and not their opponent.

In order to set up a tantalizing matchup against the competition’s reigning winners, The Pride of Rivers defeated Watanga FC 3-1 on aggregate.

Onoja told Rivers United Media;

“The spirit in camp has been warm and receptive. We know what Is at stake. We are not thinking about our opponent, we are thinking about ourselves, what we can do.”

He continued by saying that their goal in the competition is to completely defeat their rivals and that they don’t care who they are.

“As far as we are concerned, we are the champions of Nigeria and we have to play like champions. Our opponent what they are doesn’t really matter to us. We just have to do what we know how to do best, win.” – Onoja said.

On October 9, 2022, Rivers United will host Wydad AC in the first leg of the next round at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, and they will travel to Casablanca for the second leg the following week.

“It’s going to be a very tough clash against the defending champions, but I want to assure Rivers people and Nigerians that Rivers United have got the quality, support, and backing to qualify into the group stage of the competition. The boys will work hard and every hand must be on deck this time to get into the group stage.” – Rivers United GM added.
