Tusker FC captain Michael Kibwage is happy to have helped his team get a win against Muranga Seals even from the new defensive midfield position where he was deployed for the match.With Kenyan International Chrispine Erambo out of the game due to a red card, coach Robert Matano made a surprise choice for a defensive midfielder by naming and asking his captain to take up the mantle and fill in the void.As expected, Kibwage did not disappoint and gave a good account of himself in that role performing as if it were his natural position. He made strong tackles, sprayed passes, and screened his defense exceptionally well.FKF PL Week 29: More drama as league enters homestretch”I am happy with my performance but most importantly, for the win. I always believe that football is an 11 vs 11 game and so anywhere that the coach decides to play you, so long as you understand football, you have to give it your best,” the midfielder told Mozzart Sport.The new role came with a bit of winning luck which brings more delight to Kibwage”I want to thank the coach for trusting me and also thank God that the midfield role came with a win. I am just trying to get better and help the team from whichever position I play. Winning is the most important thing,” the midfielder went on.##NAJAVA_MECA_8094737##Equally, the former KCB FC and Sofapaka captain was delighted with the wins that Tusker has since gathered to bring back the side’s winning momentum. The brewers are keeping an eye on run-away league leaders Gor Mahia to slip and if not so, finish the league on a high note”We have regained our winning tempo which is so good. This was our third straight win, which I believe will give us morale as we head into the final matches of the season,” he continued.Kibwage who had heated exchanges with Muranga Seals captain Dennis Odhiambo told us that it was nothing personal but two players trying to fight for their respective teams.”He was trying to use his experience to provoke me so that I lose concentration in the dying minutes when they were pushing for an equalizer but I also used mine to stay calm,” he explained.Up next for Tusker is Nairobi City Stars on Thursday 16 May at Dandora Stadium.
