Akwa United handler, Coach John Obuh said he is now under pressure after his team lost 1-0 to Sunshine Stars in a Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) match last Sunday.
The veteran tactician saw his side drop another three points away against the Owena Whales, leaving them in a precarious position.
The Promise Keepers, who are without a win this season, bowed to the superior fire-power of their livid hosts in Akure courtesy of Silas Nwankwo’s first-half strike.
The defeat means the Uyo outfit languishes in the relegation zone after garnering four points from six outings.
Despite their current poor form, coach Obuh is not throwing in the yet and revealed that his team will keep working towards getting the desired results. “Even if I am not under pressure, I have to give myself the pressure because most times we expect to see a win,” he told the NPFL website.
“More especially [in the game against Sunshine Stars] that should have been, at worst, a draw, but this is the way it has been.
“We will continue fighting. We will continue working. The season is still fresh. This is the sixth game out of 38 games,” he added.
