Everyone is Against Sunshine - Abe

Sunshine Stars captain Abe Sunday feels everybody is
against his team in the Nigeria Professional Football
League.

Kennedy Boboye’s men midway into the season were
second on the league table and strong contenders for the
Nigeria topflight diadem before slumping to the sixth
position with three games to end the season.

The Akure based team crumbled 1-0 at home to Lobi Stars
on Sunday to rule out any possibility of playing in next
season’s Caf Champions League.

“I’m really sad because this is not the position we bargained
for at the beginning of the season. Honestly, I’m very sick,”
Sunday told Goal.

“Our current position is not a true reflection of our strength.
We give our best and play great football but the results have
always gone against us. This gives us lots of worries.

“Everyone especially the referees seem to be against us
since the second stanza of the season and that has not
helped our course. The same happened when we hosted
Lobi Stars and went a goal down before the game was
abandoned.

“Having lost the chance to win the league title or pick a
ticket to play in the Caf Champions League, we will try very
hard to win the rest of our matches to stand a chance of
playing in the Caf Confederation Cup.

“And should we fail to play on the continent, we will review
what went wrong with the hope of doing well next season,”
he concluded.

Sunshine Stars have 53 points from 35 games and will face
Bayelsa United in their next league outing.
