Ochieng’ was on target in our last match against Posta Rangers
The lads are back at the Kasarani Stadium Annexe on Saturday for a Premier League match against KCB FC, and Captain Brian “Rio” Ochieng has looked ahead to the match against his former team.
In the reverse fixture, also played at the same venue as tomorrow’s game, John Kamau’s men secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory thanks to a sublime free kick from Elli Asieche. The win marked our first win of the season, and now the lads plan to secure the league double over the bankers and continue their resurgence.
Though that win is a confidence booster going into this latest meeting, Ochieng’ insists that he and his teammates will not dwell much on the past.
“We won the reverse game, but that is all water under the bridge now. This is a different game with different dynamics, as well as different sets of players. We will tackle the game differently, the one constant, though, is that at the end of the final whistle, we need to take the three points.”
Ochieng was on target last weekend, scoring his first goal as a United player as we drew 1-1 with Posta Rangers at the Annexe. That result made it two games unbeaten and followed a 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars also at the Annexe.
We haven’t won two consecutive matches this season and haven’t extended an unbeaten run past two matches this term. It has been a worrying trend which forced a team meeting at the end of the first leg.
“We had a candid discussion as players with the technical team and agreed that with the start of the second leg, we should be more consistent. Every game should be approached as a final as between now and the end of the season anything can happen. I believe we all got onboard with one another after that meeting and we can see now that the boys have responded with this recent run.”
