Leopards coach backs Omune to shine after Talanta show

AFC Leopards assistant coach Tom Juma believes Victor Omune’s four goals against FC Talanta will boost the player’s confidence after he struggled to find the back of the net prior to the game against the cash-strapped FKF Premier League outfit on Thursday.Omune led the line at the expense of Ojo Olaniyi, who had to settle for a place on the subs’ bench, and he grabbed the chance, getting four in a 6-0 win. Cliff Nyakeya scored the other two goals.##NAJAVA_MECA_7014101##The result moved AFC Leopards to the fifth position in the log with 2 points, six shy of leaders Nzoia Sugar FC, and gave them an odd chance of contesting for the league title despite the thin and youthful squad at their disposal.Back to Omune, his coach Juma opines that the double against Ken Kenyatta’s charges will spur the attacker to greater heights, backing him to get more goals in the coming games.”Against Talanta, he got four goals, and I think that will do a lot of good to his confidence because as a striker, when you are not scoring, sometimes it dents the self-belief, but now with the four goals, I believe that we will be more confident and sharper in the next games,” he stated.He revealed that they kept encouraging the player to work hard during his barren phase.”We kept encouraging him to keep working, just like we do with the other players.” “We kept urging him to work hard, and his other aspects of the game were good; it’s just that he wasn’t scoring, but we were happy with his general output.”Next for Ingwe and Omune is a league match against Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday afternoon at the Nyayo National Stadium.Mwalala discusses his reign at Ulinzi Stars so far, urges players to give more
