Remo Stars Coach, Ogunmodede carpets Dan Anyiam Stadium pitch

Posted : 30 December 2023

After witnessing his side succumb to a grueling 1-3 defeat at the hands of struggling Heartland International FC, the Technical Adviser of Remo Stars, Daniel Ogunmodede, has condemned the pitch surface of Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri.


Ogunmodede described the pitch as suitable only for athletes and not for league matches.


In an exclusive chat, Ogunmodede noted that the undulating nature of Dan Anyiam Stadium made it difficult for a free flow of football and also prevented his boys from freely expressing themselves.


"Heartland FC forced us to play their own style, adding that the two goals we conceded in stoppage time were due to a lack of concentration.


"The most woeful game for us this season because we played on the most woeful field in the league.


"We were running helplessly for 90 minutes. It would have been better to have an athletic competition here rather than having a football competition.


"We lost concentration, and we were dealt with. For me, it's difficult to defend from the 1st minute to the 90th minute.


"That is what we tried to do with the nature of the pitch, and we can't play our game. They forced us to play their game due to the nature of the pitch.


"We couldn't defend till the end and fight the battle of area balls, and they took advantage of it."


Despite the defeat to Heartland, the Sky Blue Stars still maintain the top spot on the log with 29 points and a superior goal difference to Lobi Stars.
