Muguna is unfazed by being “singled out” after Kenya Police's underwhelming start to the season although he has had a decent individual outing for his new side.
Kenya Police FC midfielder Kenneth Muguna insists he is not feeling the pressure of being singled out for criticism as one of the side’s star players since joining from Tanzanian Premier League side Azam FC in July.
The Law Enforcers have started the league slowly, winning just one of their opening five league games, which has dented their hopes of going for their maiden FKFPL title despite investing heavily to improve the quality of the team.
Muguna is unfazed by being “singled out” when the team performs poorly, although he has had a decent individual outing for his new side, scoring two goals in each of his last two league appearances.
Under new coach Zdravko Logarušić, the side overcame Bidco United on Saturday afternoon to give them all three points that could hopefully kickstart their season in their quest to win the league.
