When forward Charles Bbale was unveiled at SC Villa at the start of the season, many didn’t expect much from him, with the club also struggling with administrative issues.
When forward Charles Bbale was unveiled at SC Villa at the start of the season, many didn’t expect much from him, with the club also struggling with administrative issues.
Being in and out of the treatment room for most of the first round also didn’t help matters for Bbale, but all that is in the past after he rediscovered his scoring touch.
Bbale is SC Villa’s leading goal scorer in league with six goals, three behind the league’s leading sharpshooters in Maroons’ Fred Amaku and Express FC’s Allan Kayiwa.
SC Villa head coach Jackson Magera says it was all down to changing Bbale’s mindset.
“ He (Bbale) struggled with injuries in the first round, but I kept telling him his time will come because I trust him,” Magera told Pulse Sports.
“When he got better, I told him to have the right mentality and believe in himself, and I am happy he listened to me; he is a technically gifted player contrary to what many think about him.”
Baale’s brace against Onduparaka FC and the strike against Soltilo Bright Stars, along with his winner against arch-rivals Express FC, are some of the critical goals that have helped the Jogoos reach the summit of the league.
