Tusker FC right wingback Daniel Sakari is hoping to channel his personal Harambee Stars disappointment towards Zamalek SC in the CAF Champions League Second Preliminary Round qualifier set to be played on Saturday afternoon in Nairobi. The former Kakamega Homeboyz defender failed to feature for Kenya in the back to back losses against Mali in the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup qualifiers.Final session and feeling of the pitch ahead of tomorrow’s CAF Champions League match against Zamalek SC.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/ge6oKNbETg— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) October 15, 2021 Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Sakari noted that he has set his sights on giving a better account of himself in the game against Zamalek and is looking forward to coming up against Achraf Bencharki who is one of the best wingers plying their trade in Africa. “I’m hoping to channel my disappointment towards Zamalek on Saturday, if I perform well and the team also gives their all we can win the game,”“Those are the challenges (Bencharki) that you always look forward to as a full-back because you get to test yourself against the very best, if I could call him, I would tell him to bring it on!” said Sakari. The former Kariobangi Sharks youngster fell below the pecking order at Harambee Stars as Joash Onyango and Eric Marcelo Ouma were preferred ahead of him in the Mali games.⚽️| The work continues.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/dgvg0iTaxb— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) October 14, 2021 Sakari revealed that he was disappointed with himself not to feature for the National Team but will put an extra shift in training to ensure he recaptures his position. “This is another chance to play football something that always excites me, I was disappointed with myself not to feature but not towards the coaches because they are the ones that select the squad,”“I need to go back to the drawing board maybe there is something that I lacked in the build-up to the Mali games and that starts with the game on Saturday,” added Sakari.
