Rotimi Obsessed With Clean Sheet In Lokoja
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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />“Yes, I am obsessed with (not letting in any goal) against Niger Tornadoes on Sunday.<br /><br />“If I don’t concede, then we won’t lose. It is as simple as that,” the experienced goal keeper told <i>Rivers United Media</i>.<br /><br />Rotimi concluded by analysing the reasons behind the losses United have recorded on the road this season.<br /><br />“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.<br /><br />“We recovered in the second half but had too much ground to cover.<br /><br />“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.<br /><br />“Now, we have to look ahead and approach this game against Tornadoes the right way.<br /><br />“We are going there (Lokoja) to play for a win but to achieve that, we must play like champions,” he said.<b><br /><br />Igho Kingsley</b><br />
