Emojong’s style of play has left many KCCA fans wondering what the consequences will be every time the team losses possession.
One of the few takeaways from KCCA FC’s first days under new head coach Sergio Traguil is the fact that the team will build its football from the back.
The goalkeeper will be an essential piece of whatever the club does, and how he plays will bring out the best of the team.
Young custodian Anthony Emojong has emerged as a breath of fresh air in the KCCA goal due to his ability to play out from the back and command the rest of the team.

FOOTBALL FUFA to introduce dual player licensing for UPL and Big League
This transformative concept aims to provide players with the opportunity to be registered by two clubs in two different leagues simultaneously, the Uganda Premier League, and FUFA Big League.
“Emojong or whoever will be in the goal, it doesn’t matter if we risk and sometimes we fail because what shows that we want to be winners? It is the way that we come out of the mistake.
“Life is not all about victories, I will be happy if I win every single match, that will be wonderful, but I have to be prepared for defeat as well.
“The risk, it’s part of football. If we don’t risk, we can’t win, and Emojong being the first guy in our construction allows our team to go forward a little more and to break the line sometimes. I need goalkeepers that have that kind of mentality to break the line.”
Emojong will be competing for the Number One spot with Derrick Ochan.
KCCA’s next piece of action is a clash with URA FC in Sunday’s FUFA Super 8 Tournament semi-final at the MTN Omondi Stadium.
