Cheche has challenged all the up-and-coming young players, including the Junior Stars, to keep their heads down and trust in the process however slow it may seem as it will help them foster good results down the line.
“I would advise the players to keep their heads down. Football’s future is bright in the eyes of the fans, but to a player, things could go haywire, so they must focus.
“They must not be pressurized and should believe in the process and they will rise slowly. Sometimes, fans push us to the wall as players and you find yourself forgetting who you are.
