Kenya Police have been firing from all cylinders since coach Salim Babu was handed over the powers to command and lead the playing unit.Police bosses elevated Babu to the rank of head coach in December last year after doing away with Croatian tactician Zdravko Logarusic who served the club for close to three months.Under Babu, Police have won five of the six matches played. This includes the 3-1 triumph over Gor Mahia, a result that ended the defending champions’ unbeaten run this season.The other duel against Posta Rangers ended in a barren draw, meaning that Police haven’t tasted defeat under the watch of the soft-spoken Babu.##NAJAVA_MECA_7881768##On top of that, the team has scored ten goals in those six matches and conceded once, indicating how sharp they have been under Babu.The form Police have been displaying heavily contrasts with the previous one under Logarusic where the star-studded team struggled to win matches consistently and convincingly.What changed as soon as Babu took over? Before Babu was elevated to succeed his sacked boss, there were unconfirmed reports of an acrimonious fallout between a section of the playing unit—the senior ones, to be precise—and Logarusic.Analyzing Police FC’s tactical brilliance in narrow win against ShabanaThe former Gor Mahia tactician was quoted by sections of the media alleging that several players were past their best, dragging the club behind, and were to be released either in the mid- or off-season transfer windows.As much as those involved worked overtime to ensure that the row didn’t go past earshot, the performance on the pitch told the entire story.However, under Babu, things have changed, and Police are now a force to be reckoned with.Reacting to the fresh breath of air and the form the law enforcers have been riding on, Babu revealed that he sought to cure the spite after he was confirmed.“You can’t make massive changes when in competition, to be honest. When I took over, I engaged the players in an honest conversation, and we agreed to march forward in unison. As a team, we acknowledged that the results didn’t reflect our potential and pledged to do better going forward. I am glad that we are all reading from the same page,” he opened up.Babu is back at PoliceBesides the results, Police have been playing ‘attractive football’ under the former Nzoia Sugar gaffer, a departure from the past.“That’s how football should be. It should be entertaining and free-flowing. I like it that way,” he said.Babu however, insisted that Police is not yet a finished article and challenged the players to aim higher.
