The top team is always under the pressure of firming its grip there and maintaining the god run. When you start dropping points, then you invite more pressure. The good thing we are used to playing under such circumstances which I feel make the game more interesting. Our options are limited to just winning going forward,” he said.💠 | 53′ Substitution for Kakamega Homeboyz➡️Ali Bhai ⬅️ Eston EsiyeVihiga Bullets 1 Kakamega Homeboyz 2#BulletsVsHomeboys#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/9oLkzKxIIn— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 31, 2021 The former KCB midfielder who is in his second stint with Homeboyz further warned his teammates of premature title celebration before sealing it first on the pitch. The former Western Stima man said the race was far from over and up to four teams had a mathematical chance of claiming the title. What next for Simba wa Nairobi’s prolific midfielder Babu?“It is too early to conclude that we are the champions in waiting. We have to take each match at a time and avoid playing under unnecessary pressure. If you carefully look at the table, the top four teams have a chance of winning,” he added.
