Kenya Police FC head coach Antony Kimani faces a crucial week as he prepares for the second leg of the CAF Confederations Cup preliminary round against Ethiopian Coffee Sports Club.The first leg, played on Sunday, 18th August, at Nyayo National Stadium, ended in a goalless draw, a match characterized by numerous missed opportunities for Police FC.##NAJAVA_MECA_8276710##Kimani is now focused on capitalizing on those chances in the upcoming match. He plans to spend most of this week’s training sessions sharpening his team’s attacking skills, as he emphasized in his post-match press conference.“It’s not over yet. We still have another 90 minutes to play in Ethiopia next week, and I’m confident we’ll address those mistakes before then. My players performed well and followed instructions. We dominated the match and created opportunities, but we lacked the final touch. This week, we’ll concentrate on converting those chances into goals,” Kimani said.The former AFC Leopards captain also acknowledged the absence of two key players—Kenneth Muguna, who was suspended, and David Owino, who was injured—but he remains hopeful that Owino will recover in time for the next game.“They are integral to the team, and their absence was deeply felt. Hopefully, Owino will recover before the next match. I’m confident he will bring the quality we need,” he added.George Maelo details reasons for Gor Mahia, Kenya Police’s struggles in CAF competitionsKimani is also reconsidering his strategy for the attacking midfield position after substituting Tyson Otieno at halftime, feeling the team needed a different approach.”We needed someone closer to the opponent’s box, which is why we replaced Tyson, who was playing well but wasn’t fulfilling the tactical requirement at that moment.”It remains to be seen how Kimani will adjust his lineup, especially with Muguna still serving the last match of his four-game suspension in the second leg.Despite the challenges, Kimani remains confident in his team’s ability to secure a positive result in Addis Ababa, citing the quality and experience within the squad.“We have a very good team with experienced players from both our national team and other countries,” he concluded.”I will teach him football” – El Merreikh coach taunts Neiva for criticism on old-fashioned playing style
