Rivers
United goal keeper, Sunday Rotimi is “obsessed” with keeping a clean sheet on
Sunday when his side files out against Niger Tornadoes at the Confluence
Stadium, Lokoja.
United come
into the match day six Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) fixture in
fine fettle having amassed nine points from a possible 15 this season.
The Port
Harcourt club have also scored in every away game they have played thus far but
Rotimi is more concerned with preventing opposition players from scoring
against him.
The
shot-stopper who has not missed a single minute of action for United this
season insists his side must go for an outright win in Lokoja on Sunday.
“Yes, I am
obsessed with (not letting in any goal) against Niger Tornadoes on Sunday.
“If I don’t
concede, then we won’t lose. It is as simple as that,” the experienced goal
keeper told Rivers United Media.
Rotimi
concluded by analysing the reasons behind the losses United have recorded on
the road this season.
“In Lagos
(against MFM FC on match day two), we started too slowly and were lucky not to
concede five goals in the first half. We recovered in the second half but had
too much ground to cover. The game (against Giwa FC on match day four) in Jos
was more complicated. I think we were better than them but certain things
happened in that game which I just don’t want to remember. Now, we have to look
ahead and approach this game against Tornadoes the right way. We are going
there (Lokoja) to play for a win but to achieve that, we must play like
champions,” he said.
