Experienced Harambee Stars custodian Patrick Matasi, currently on the books of Tusker FC in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, has categorically stated that the reigning champions have no business whatsoever in minding what their opponents do as they can only control what is within their ability.With only eleven games to go before the 2021/2022 campaign draws to a close, the Robert Matano coached side find themselves engaged in a fierce title fight if they are to defend their title as they currently sit in second place on the table on 41 points, eight behind log leading Kakamega Homeboyz.In Tusker’s unbeaten 10 games he kept 7 cleansheets and its worth mentioning that he conceded none in the whole of February.@matasi_patrick was thrown into the first 11 against V. Bullets and ever since Tusker have morphed into the team that ran away with the title last season. pic.twitter.com/toeL80PTGY— Friends of Football (@friendsofutball) March 14, 2022 Having already overcome a difficult start to the season in getting themselves back to the title fight, Matasi stated that what lies ahead for the team is only for them to take charge of what is within their grasp and worry less about the opposition.“There are still eleven matches to go which you certainly cannot predict the outcome. I only concentrate on the team and not what our opponents are doing. I cannot control or say anything about how the opponents play or what they do. My main focus is to ensure that as a team, we do whatever we can in our results and keep working on them,” the two time Golden Glove winner told Mozzart Sport.Matasi shares testimony after near death experience in disastrous 2021Additionally, the former Posta Rangers goalkeeper, who had a stint in Ethiopia with St. George before returning to the Brewers, lauded the team’s togetherness in pulling them through back to title contention.“We have an extremely good squad composed of young and senior players. They are the collective reason as to why we have gotten back here because of the work they put in together in defense, in midfield and in attack. We always strike to work together and these are the results,” he added.With the league going into a two week break, the Brewers will return to action with a clash against KCB.
