We are ready and everyone is prepared and even you can see it in training that everyone is focused and looking forward to a good match. We are coming in for a win. A draw or a loss is not good for us and we don’t have another opportunity at the trophy so it is a must win. We are focused and ready to beat them come rain come shine,” he told club media.💪| Ready to rumble!! pic.twitter.com/D5rE3wd9sA— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) June 11, 2022 At the same time, the skipper has lauded the team for bouncing back from a tough start to the season where the team struggled to knit results at the beginning. Tusker struggled with form in the initial stages of the season, a run that was attributed to the wholesome changes made by the technical bench in the transfer window but they have since risen from the bottom half of the table to title contenders.##NAJAVA_MECA_6447776##“It has been a great turnaround but I will be happier if we lift the trophy. It will sum up our season well. It will show what we have done as a team. We started badly but we have come up together united and we can see from the results we have had. Now let us take it a step higher and finish with the trophy,” said the former Gor Mahia man.Mwale tips Nzoia to beat AFC Leopards in the final roundMeanwhile, Mieno stressed on the significance of the team approaching Rangers with calmness and minimal pressure. The Mailmen have been causing the beer makers trouble in the last two matches and Mieno has advised his colleagues to embrace calmness and execute the plan without subjecting themselves to pressure.“We have been in this situation before and we need to come in without pressure. It will be hard if we put pressure on ourselves. We just need to give our best and hope it will be enough for the day. If we put pressure on ourselves it will be hard to perform. We have to be calm and relax, remain focused because we know what we want from this match and what the team wants,” added the former Sofapaka player.
