Ulinzi Stars head coach Dunstan Nyaudo has called on his captain Boniface Muchiri to show leadership skills and step up when the team needs him most.Nyaudo’s words come two days after the Soldiers dropped points in a mid-week clash against Tusker FC at the Police Sacco Grounds.The 2010 league champions were hoping to secure their maiden victory of the campaign after starting brightly in the encounter but fell behind through Charles Momanyi’s goal in the 43rd minute, just two minutes after a penalty miss by the Soldiers.##NAJAVA_MECA_8445421##A visibly irritated Nyaudo admitted that he was disappointed with his captain, Muchiri, who for the second time failed to convert a spot kick, handing it to another player.Last season during the Mozzart Bet Cup playoffs, the Soldiers won a penalty against AFC Leopards but Muchiri handed the responsibility to Mark Bikokwa, who had his effort saved by Levis Opiyo.During the match against Tusker, Muchiri passed on the responsibility to Hillary Simiyu, who had his effort shave the crossbar to the disappointment of the entire technical bench and away team fans.FKF give way forward after Dimba Patriots’ relegation from NSL and Mwatate’s promotionNyaudo told SportsBoom.com; “I think the players can tell you I was so mad at that incident because, as a captain, you need to take care of the responsibilities in the team. The crucial penalties and free kicks must not be debatable; that is why you are captain.So I have told him that moving forward I do not want to see that again because we have drawn against Tusker simply because of his actions,” he fumed.“When you’re a captain you need to lead from the front and in any case, as a soldier you must show leadership,” Nyaudo added.Boniface Muchiri excited by timing of Harambee Stars’ call up after three years outAfter five matches, the Soldiers find themselves in the bottom half of the table, picking only three points from a possible 15 but Nyaudo is confident the team will soon change their fortunes.“The boys are playing well currently, and I feel that it is a matter of time before we see the real side coming out. Injuries have also not been kind to us but I am happy that something good is finally coming out,” Nyaudo added
