Nairobi City Stars left back Dennis Wanjala says that the festive season break has given the players room to reflect and rectify the mistakes that have triggered the poor start of life in the campaign.The Nicholas Muyoti coached outfit has two draws to show for in the past six rounds, a run that has certainty been giving the players and members technical bench sleepless nights.The run heavily contrasts that of the past two seasons where the team that was readmitted back to the top division in 2020 was flourishing both in the competition and in the Cup.##NAJAVA_MECA_6916339##Wanjala who is in second season at the club revealed that the players trooped back to training from the break with renewed vigour and confidence which he observed was lacking in the past month.“Lack of confidence contributed a lot to the regrettable performance we put in the last month. We were creating chances but didn’t have the required confidence and precision to put the ball in the net. The break was important as the players had the moment to reflect on the performance and it is reassuring that everyone in the team agreed to step up,” he said.With Simba wa Nairobi set to tackle former champions AFC Leopards on Wednesday at the Kasarani Stadium, Wanjala is calling for maximum utilization of the chances that will come their way.Bandari hard man Dennis Magige set to return in two weeks’ timeThe former Nzoia Sugar defender noted that wastefulness in front of the goal had cost the team points in the past rounds and repeating the same mistake will dent the confidence in the team.“We can’t afford to start the year with nothing short of a win. We are anticipating for a tough match as Leopards’ playing style is similar to ours but the good thing is they are beatable. We have to take our chances and defend as a unit if we are to secure maximum points,” he observed.
