Afelokhai downplays pressure on Rivers United to win a trophy

Newly signed Rivers united goalkeeper, Theophilus Afelokhai has downplayed the huge expectation on the Port Harcourt based side to win a title after going on a spending spree with a recruitment drive of some of the biggest legs in the Nigeria Professional Football League ahead of the next football league season.

Afelokhai speaking in a chat with brila.net said the players assembled are big players with huge ambitions and will notwithstanding any team targets want to achieve and win things for themselves and the club.

He stressed that there is no pressure to win a trophy at the club but certainly they want to all succeed.

“We have the good players here and the players are really ready to deliver, and having someone like me and others every player know what they want in life, we have a good plan for ourselves and the team and it’s to win something and that’s why we are here.

“We know what we want, every player knows what he wants. I don’t think we are under pressure to win something but the thing is that we want to win something. We are all here to achieve and we are going to achieve what we are here for.”
