Nairobi City Stars goalkeeper Steve Njung’e believes that his side needs ‘just a win’ to fend off any fears surrounding their status in the FKF Premier League next season.Having spent much of the time this season on the bench, City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti has in the previous weeks called on for his services as a starter and it’s clear that his impact has worked a charm.##NAJAVA_MECA_7234443##“I am very happy for him and especially how settled he looks,” Muyoti said of Njung’e and how he had managed to keep his head despite being second choice behind Jacob Osano for the first part of the season.“He is one of the best keepers we have and his contribution in the last few matches has been felt greatly. It is not just his saves but the leadership he offers.”Of the last four City Stars games that the former Wazito custodian has started, he has only conceded thrice, keeping two consecutive clean sheets that have gone a long way to secure big points.All eyes on Mugunde to sail past Round of 32 World Championships bout“Just locking in and keeping up with the hard work,” Njung’e termed his mindset heading into the last stretch of the season. “Four games, I feel confident about our spirit and how we are playing.”City Stars are only six points above Mathare United in the relegation places and owing to Njung’e, a win in the next six games could be all but enough to secure league safety.The gaffer leads us to Ulinzi Sports Complex to face Ulinzi Stars this sunday at 3pm #simbawanairobi pic.twitter.com/16fUSlE1a4— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) May 5, 2023 “The good thing is I am not the only one putting in the work,” the lanky keeper said. “We managed to edge out Tusker and not concede, we did that in the previous game, it is something our defense prides in and is the very reason I am confident that the teams behind will not catch up.”Nairobi City Stars will now hope to make it five matches unbeaten when they take on Ulinzi Stars on Sunday at the Ulinzi Sports Complex from 1500 EAT.
