Finidi Unfazed by Bayelsa Defeat, Insists Rivers United Still on NPFL Title Track
Head coach Finidi George has insisted that Rivers United remain firmly on course for the Nigeria Premier Football League title despite their latest setback against Bayelsa United, Nigeriasoccernet.com understands.
The Pride of Rivers suffered a narrow defeat on Sunday, but the former Super Eagles winger was quick to downplay the result, stressing that the club’s ultimate objective this season is to secure the league crown.
“If losing to Bayelsa United will give us the league title, I’ll accept it,” Finidi said rhetorically.
“Let’s lose to Bayelsa United and win the league.
“I’m not that worried about losing to Bayelsa United twice last season and twice this season.
“We know the purpose of our campaign this season is to win the league. It’s quite unfortunate that we lost today.”
Despite the disappointment, Rivers United remains in strong contention for a place near the summit of the NPFL standings. Finidi emphasised that sustained consistency across the entire campaign, rather than the outcome of isolated fixtures, will ultimately determine who lifts the trophy at the end of the season.
