Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede remains confident that his team is still firmly in the hunt for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title, despite their recent 1-0 defeat to Rivers United.
The Sky Blue Stars saw their lead at the top of the table reduced to five points after Sunday’s matchday 32 encounter at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
Despite the setback, Ogunmodede believes his team will bounce back and achieve their season’s objective. “We lost concentration in split seconds, and we paid for it. We had three glaring chances, and in general, it was a good game for both sides. it showed how much we both wanted it,” Ogunmodede said following the match.
He downplayed any significant complications arising from the loss. “No complications. We also go back to our home and win; we will be back to eight points. We have three more home games, and we will try as much as possible to get maximum points. It’s a fierce competition, and we love it.”
Looking ahead with optimism, Ogunmodede stated, “We are almost there. In the next six weeks, we should be talking about this.”
Remo Stars’ immediate focus shifts to their rescheduled matchday 30 game against Lobi Stars, which will be played at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu on Wednesday.
