“Remo Stars have a very good team but I think we did better in second half, they played first half very well while the away team played the second half very well,” he allayed.
“We want to make sure that we push ourselves so much that in the first round, we will be in a comfortable position that will give us advantage of top three (3).”
“The only challenge we are going to have is fatigue but it’s for everybody because if you noticed what happened in our first half, it showed that our team is fatigued with a lot of travels.”
“It’s not an easy thing but I give it to them, so we are going to prepare for our next game very well knowing fully well that El Kanemi Warriors are not in a good position, they will come with everything to get a point but we will fight for three points at the end of the day.”
“I’m so happy with my boys because Remo Stars have a great team and we prepared for that.”
“In football, you have to be very well prepared because anything can happen, we are happy with the point that we picked here.”
