You have to adapt and play more tactical football. We need to be more direct and offensive. It’s nearly impossible to play a clinical game on such a surface, especially with natural grass—that’s just the reality.Hussein Mohammed promises Benni McCarthy zero interference in Harambee Stars roleYou can only play quality football on a good pitch, and this one isn’t up to that standard.

Coach Muluya will be hoping that his team can take advantage of this familiarity to secure a much-needed win.
