Stanley Eguma says his team is not under pressure as they prepare for the new season which is expected to kickoff in December.
Eguma whose team picked its first 3 points at the Gold Cup Tourney, defeated Nationwide League One side, Almar FC by a lone goal.
“We’re not under any pressure, yes the December kickoff date is close but on our part, we maximizing time to prepare the team for the new season.
“The pre-season tourney has exposed the players I brought to Akure.
“We came with about 50 players and out of whom I have given them a chance by starting two different squads in the two we have played.
“With the matches played so far, I have got an idea of the quality some of these players have.
“Many want to play for Rivers Utd, but they forget that the team is about quality.
“It’s now time for me to take a decision on them as are lacking this ingredient.
“Rivers Utd is about quality, so only the best can wear the team’s colours.
“I want to give kudos to the organisers of the Gold Cup Tourney for staging this pre-season as its got quality.”
