Eleven Arrows to up their tempo
Eleven Arrows head coach Robert Nauseb says his team will treat their remaining league games as cup finals, in a bid to realise their goal of a good finish in the Namibia Premier League (NPL).
Nauseb said this after Friday night's goalless draw against Citizens during round 23 of the 2018/19 MTC NPL at the Sam Nujoma Stadium.
The coach said his team had a tough week due to injuries.
“We played five games in the space of seven days, which is really not easy. We are currently having a couple of players out with injuries and flu, but I am confident the young lads still in the team will deliver when called upon,” he said.
Nauseb added that going forward his soldiers will treat each of their remaining fixtures as cup finals.
“There is a lot of pressure in the league at the moment, as everyone is collecting points. And if we don't collect points, we will soon be at the bottom, as all those below us are doing well,” he said.
The coach said the coastal outfit's goal during the 2018/19 season is to end in the top eight. “Our aim is to finish among the top five or sixth when the league concludes later this month, therefore we are going to play our remaining six matches as cup finals. We will either collect a point or all three,” said Nauseb.
On Saturday, Mighty Gunners were beaten 0-1 by Black Africa in Otjiwarongo.
