Ambitious AFC Leopards assistant captain Peter Thiong’o believes that his hands and that of Marvin Nabwire will be the lucky ones to hoist the elusive league crown after watching their predecessors fail in the last two decades.Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems settled on the youthful duo to lead the playing unit after Isaac Kipyegon ditched the den for champions Tusker in the final days of the transfer window.Ingwe last conquered the league in 1998, a time when the duo were toddlers but Thiong’o is promising to the club faithfuls to compose songs meant to celebrate the crown at the end of the season.”Our business at the den is to restore its past glory by winning titles. It is the dream of every captain or his assistant to lead his teammates in collecting the winner’s medals and lift the title at the end of the season and that’s exactly what we want to do this season, ” he said.FTAFC Leopards 2-0 Bandari fc48′ Mudenyo81′ Peter Thiongo#FKFPL #RadullLive pic.twitter.com/0kFjMy3BLy— @RadullLive (@radulllive) July 9, 2021 While the main target remains dethroning Tusker, Thiong’o identified arresting their five-game winless run as the immediate task they will be looking to accomplish when the competition resumes.Ingwe were on the receiving end of the wrath of their opponents before the break having lost four consecutive rounds and drawn once to hang just a place above the red zone.Thiong’o who arrived at the club from Kakamega Homeboyz last year said the gap between them and league leaders Gor Mahia was not far from their reach and encouraged the team to give their best and catch up with the top teams.⚽️| Veteran goalkeeper Wycliffe Kasaya has revealed that that AFC Leopards still owe him six years since he left the FKF Premier League giants.#AFCLeopards #Ingwe #WycliffeKasayahttps://t.co/s4jGBFFFTH— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) December 2, 2021 “We were not doing good before the international break but we had sufficient time to improve on where we came short. The players who arrived late have also adapted well and within a short time, i believe we will be up there on the log,” said Thiong’o.Meanwhile, the former Nakuru All Stars star promised to double his efforts and deliver more goals that will surpass the number he posted last season.
