The way we are playing at the moment is in accordance with what the coaches want us to play, our solid display so far has not been by luck.

It has been a career that has been largely injury-free. My advice to the upcoming players is that though football has its challenges, at least it is paying something nowadays. One needs to take it seriously, follow the words of the coaches and train hard. Discipline is also very important in football, without it you will not make it far,” he finished.
