We won and then lost two matches in a row and from there we have had a good run. It means we are believing in each other and everyone has been doing what they can to help the team that is why there is compactness. I just stirred up the boys and told them that let’s first work on conceding goals. I said that we should not concede in games and that was our starting point,” Matasi told the club’s media.The month of love was good to us.🏟️| 5 matches☑️| 4 wins🤝| 1 draw🎯| 7 goals⛔| 0 conceded #KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/7E2btTfbKK— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) February 28, 2022 Matasi continued to say that he believed in his teammates’ ability to score, noting that he is sure they can always get goals, and being able to avoid conceding kept them in a better place to win matches.“I know that in this team we have scorers and if we can keep a clean sheet, there is a high chance we will get a goal. These simple fundamentals have worked. We have been compact as a team, worked together and everyone is going an extra mile to assist the team get good results,” he added.Since making his debut on his return to Tusker against Sofapaka in December last year, Matasi has gone on to make 10 other appearances, keeping nine clean sheets in the process.Tusker have not conceded in the last seven matches and they will be hoping to continue the same when they host Kenya Police over the weekend.
