Kano Pillars gaffer Baba Ganaru has taken a swipe at the Uyo Township Stadium
saying, ''it needs to be relayed’’. The amiable coach made this known to
www.futbalgalore.blogspot.com after his team’s one-nil loss to Akwa United on
Sunday.
''We were given a good game by the hosts and fans were
entertained by the players. The low point of the game was the pitch and I also
think we didn’t play well in Uyo,'' he said.
The coach also dispelled insinuations from the media that
Pillars depend on certain players for success and strides in the round leather
game.
''We are a cohesive force and you can notice this in the way
we carry out our tactical approach. Pillars don’t depend on individuals to win
matches but a bond that no one can break.’’
The coach promised to correct the loopholes and lapses
noticed in the game against Akwa United in subsequent matches.
Meanwhile, Akwa United technical adviser Justin Tenger has
lambasted his strikers for being complacent in front of goals this season. The
experienced tactician told reporters moments after his team’s outstanding
victory against league champions Kano Pillars.
''We had the opportunity to win our last away match in
Makurdi, but my attackers kept on wasting begging chances. I hope to take them
through their shooting skills in our training sessions.’’
The former BCC Lions, Lobi Stars, Gombe United, Kastina United
and Kano Pillars made history as the first Akwa United gaffer to beat Pillars
for a long time in Uyo.
''Every coach has his own way of planning for a match. The
message I relayed to my boys was to stay focused. Pillars already lost the
match before coming to our home ground,’’ he jokingly told reporters.
The veteran helmsman who has been around for over 24 years appealed to league clubs to make the environment condusive for coaches.
‘’ Club managements needs to motivate and make the
environment good for us,’’ he said.
