I was happy with tghe attitude of the players in terms of work ethic. It showed that these are players who are ready to move out of the current position and out of the relegation zone. I will try to manage my emotions because the situations we are in needs a sober mind. the win was for the players to enjoy and I know that at the end of it all I will enjoy myself,” Kamau said.Further, the gaffer noted that he is concentrating more on sharpening his team as opposed to what the opponents bring at them in the remaining games and believes executing their strategy in the field will get the opponents afraid.”I want to concentrate more on my team and not what the opponents have to offer to us. At the end of it, if we can be in a position to make our strategy work for us, the opponents will be more worried than us,” he added.🚨 | It’s Matchday! 🆚 Talanta FC 📍 Ruaraka grounds ⌚ 3️⃣pm 🏆 Premier League ~ Game number one for John Kamau😊.
