Also, there was no preseason for us last season. This time we had a break which gave us a lot of time to set our minds and to focus on the upcoming campaign.💪| Brilliant way to end the year against a very tough opponent.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/mO5i5vR277— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) December 22, 2022 The lack of a break last time out, the CAF assignments and the transfer window still being opened right after winning the title made it a very difficult challenge for us because we were not used to all that,” the player told Mozzart Sport.Despite having the tag of favourites to challenge for the title this season once again, the former Maseno School alumnus called on his teammates not to put their foot off the gas pedal during the early days of the season as teams will increasingly target them.##NAJAVA_MECA_6916339##“On paper we have five wins in five but when we get onto the pitch there is no easy game out there. With the form we are in, every team wants to prove a point against us so we have to take it game by game and give our best in each match if we are to achieve our targets,” he stated.The player also called on his team to always seek on improving if they are to go all the way in their title defense.Sharks midfielder Ken Kyalo lands scholarship in US“Everyone is putting in the work right now and all we need to do is to ensure we stay consistent right through the campaign,” he concluded.Tusker well face a winless Vihiga Bullets on Wednesday 4 January 2023 when the league resumes after a two week festive break.
