Kariobangi Sharks head coach William Muluya has waxed lyrical about Kenya U20 midfielder Andreas Odhiambo for his massive role in the team.Odhiambo has been a key figure in Sharks’ midfield this season. His partnership with Keith Imbali and Biron Otieno especially at the start of the season was so crucial in helping Sharks collect points with the situation changing when the latter duo were sidelined with injuries.Michael Olunga welcomes signing of former Chelsea midfielder to Al DuhailWith the slightly more experienced pair of Imbali and Otieno out injured, Muluya bestowed faith on Odhiambo’s shoulders to orchestrate ‘Kanu Ball’ – the tiki-taka style of football preferred by Muluya.Despite his team having a poor run of form in the league due to the injury crisis that they have been facing, Odhiambo has been a silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud much to the appreciation of his coach.##NAJAVA_MECA_8666823##“I am happy with Andreas Odhiambo. He got his third goal of the season (against Bidco). We have bestowed upon his shoulders a very huge task,” said Muluya.Odhiambo opened the scoring for Kariobangi Sharks in the 12th minute of their match against Bidco United before Jacob Onyango drew the Oilers level in the 80th minute as the game ended in a stalemate.Viborg rejects bid for 174 million-valued Harambee Stars defenderThe 18-year-old has taken the responsibility with grace and dictated the pace of Sharks’ games with much excellence and battled it out with experienced players in most matches despite his young age.“At his age, he cannot be the player that we need to depend on but again if you are good enough, age does not matter,” he added.##NAJAVA_MECA_8666813##Kariobangi Sharks have not won any of their last six matches and have recorded only one win in their last 14 league matches even as the injury crisis in the club deepens.Up next for Sharks is a league match on Sunday 2 February against the on-form Shabana FC at Gusii Stadium.
