Harambee Stars defender Eric Marcelo Ouma has revealed the factor behind his good form and that of his team in general in the current campaign.The former Gor Mahia defender has featured in 15 of their 16 matches this season for AIK, missing in only the 1-0 win against IK Sirius ten days ago as he was suspended.Ouma highlighted a strong mentality not only to himself but also to the other players as one of the key factors that have pushed them to third on the log having played only 16 games.The 24-year old defender also added that they have been getting the much-needed energy from their fans as well, something that has given them a very big advantage whenever they play.”It is the mentality because all of us we are positive and we are always pushing each other to move forward. Plus the good fans that we have around us, they always give us energy whenever we play so it is an advantage for us,” Ouma told the club’s media.In the 15 games that Ouma has played, he has been exceptional, managing to help the team keep five clean sheets and assisting twice in the league, against Degerfors IF in their league opener in April and Varbergs BoIS.En sista match inför landslagsuppehållet väntar.
