INTERVIEW: How we're able to record 10-match unbeaten streak - Plateau Utd Coach

Ilechukwu, 43, fondly called the ‘working coach’, joined the Jos-based club in August 2021 and has led them in a 10-match unbeaten streak that sees them just a point behind league leaders, Rivers United.

If my players aren’t comfortable working, it’s a problem. At a time, players refused to train, and because they don’t pay them and it’s affecting me mentally, psychologically and winning games was very difficult. The first thing I did was to find a way and work around the challenges, the results, and other things that are not good for you.

PT: Coach, your team is one of the teams that has conceded the least in the league; how do you manage to keep your defence compact? Despite the pressure you’ve been able to stand strong, your game against Enyimba for example, how did you change their psychology?First of all, after losing our game to Wikki Tourists, we decided that this time around we won’t play home game 4-3-3 formation while we come away, we play 4-5-1 because tactically we’ve started defending from day one in away games.

It’s a sign that we also face challenges. It hasn’t been easy at any given time. We never give up, we still believe that at 90 minutes we can still score goals. All this is the advantage we have. There is no pressure when the team isn’t doing well during the game, what we do tell them is you can do better and we believe in you and that’s the reason we give you this jersey.

In our team, our training is a competition if you don’t make the 20-man list of Plateau United out of their low performance. You can only be out of the 20-man list if you have an injury or we are resting, out of that condition, if you are not on that list you have yourself to blame. Everybody is fighting day-in and day-out.

PT; You are second on the table, behind Rivers United, how can you keep fighting for the top place in the league?This is a tough question. Rivers United are one of the best in Nigeria now, whether you like it or not. They have only lost one game in the league which was against Plateau United.
