Remo stars the coach of Ikenne, Daniel Ogunmodede has admitted that his players are feeling the pressure of his search for a first conquest of the Nigeria Professional Soccer League title (NPFL).

The exuberant tactical declared so much after his team worked with a 1-0 victory over the visit of Plateau United of Jos, who fight to avoid being relegated at the end of this season.

Sports247 reports that a penalty serve of the first half lost to the team’s pattern, Junior Nduka was followed by what initially seemed to be an objective in the 50th minute, but was discarded controversial for offside against Sikiru Alimi, whose replacement, Samson Olasupo, then scored the decisive game with 20 minutes on the clock.

Ogunmodede confessed after things have become more difficult for their team in recent weeks and added: “Our last five games have been like that.

Against Plateau United, we face a very good team that has a bad position on the table. They want to redeem their image; But we needed the points more, and we were resistant to get them. ”

The soft voice gaffer gave an idea of ​​the tactics that finally gave his team the maximum points in the Stars Stadium rowing in Ikenne, so he took 11 points away from both Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan and Rivers United of Port Harcourt, who will face Monday.
Ogunmodede declared further,

“We continue to fight from the beginning of the whistle and, after losing a penalty, we knew we had to be more relaxed. At that time, we had to be calmer, and I am happy to have left victorious. Now we have 33 points to fight for. We are going to pursue those 33 points with everything we have. That is what is important for us, and we are for each point available. “

The gaffer of the leaders of the League also launched a look ahead of his team’s next game, who will be out of Benin City’s insurance and, although his team will be without his suspended pattern, Junior Nduka, Ogunmodede emphasized that they will go out again for the victory.

He affirmed: “Bless insurance has recently improved. They have done it very well in their last six, seven games. We will not be there with our captain, but he is just one among the 26 registered players. Of course, its influence is massive in the group but, nevertheless, no player is indispensable. “

Ogunmodede concluded by admitting that a great challenge that he has to face as the season comes home is how to avoid the pressure of the thinking processes of his players, while cited a couple of examples that occurred during the thin victory against Plateau United.

“Another issue that we have to do is pressure. The pressure of winning the league is both in the players, and that is why we saw how our first pencil snore, Sikiru, gave his duty to the captain. I don’t want to call him fear, but I suppose I could feel the pressure of the expectation.

“We are human. It is normal. We are all human. Maybe at that time, he felt that he only needed to relax his nerves and let someone more assume responsibility. But that is not acceptable to me.

It is not acceptable in the team, but, nevertheless, I feel the pressure in children. The less the games, the more difficult they will become. It is expected, “said Ogunmode theoretically.
