AFC Leopards defender Randy Bakari has disclosed the club’s strategy to win the FKF Premier League this season, which involves targeting clusters of matches.Kenyan giants AFC Leopards have endured a long title drought, with their last league title dating back to 1998, over two decades ago.Determined to end the wait this campaign, the club has set specific targets for every three matches, according to Bakari, who spoke exclusively to Mozzart Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_8369728##“We have clustered our targets into three-game segments. After every three matches, we aim for 7 points. We didn’t achieve this in our first three games, so we need to make up for that in the upcoming fixtures. We can’t afford to lose any match. If we meet these smaller targets, it will be easier to reach our overall goal,” he said.Randy, who was speaking after their league match against Nairobi City Stars, also praised head coach Tomas Trucha for the tactical approach that secured the win for Leopards.##NAJAVA_MECA_8380058##“It was a tough match, but we knew how to play, and our approach was top-notch, thanks to the coach,” he added.The versatile defender, who can play both at centre-back and right-back, has partnered with Ken Owino in the heart of defense for the past two games due to an injury to South Sudan captain Peter Maker Mayang. He stated that he is ready to play in any position the coach requires.“I’m comfortable in both positions. Whether as a full-back or centre-back, I’m prepared, as long as it’s on the right side of the pitch,” he said.Chris Ochieng itching to fill gap left by Omalla at Gor MahiaThe former Nzoia Sugar man also explained the difference between the two roles he has played at Leopards.“The difference is that centre-back requires more mental work, whereas playing right-back involves more speed and running,” he added.Additionally, the former Chemelil Sugar defender stressed the importance of starting the season strongly, noting that a poor start last season left the team with a difficult challenge.“Last season, we started poorly, and it cost us. Towards the end, we treated every game as a final, which drained a lot of energy. This time, we’ve decided to approach things differently,” he concluded.Third-placed Leopards will face second-placed Kariobangi Sharks in their next league fixture after the international break.Anthony Kimani tips Jesse Were for success at Kenya Police
