FKFPL Anthony Kimani places faith in trio to turn around Ulinzi Stars' fortunes
Kimani has explained why the quality of the creative players at his disposal could play a big part in helping him achieve the side’s objectives for the season.

“So one area that we need to work on and focus on that has not worked for us so far is our attacking department.
“We have been creating numerous opportunities but have not been able to take those chances. The other issue we need to work on is our concentration levels, and that can be because of a few factors."

“We will sit down as a technical bench and try to pinpoint this issue so that we can ensure that it does not recur again.”
Asked about his boys were low on confidence after now losing three games in a row, Modo insists that it was all down to the technical bench to try and help Ulinzi believe again if they are to achieve their targets for the season.
“Even the best players in the world, once they go for huge spells without getting huge results, they will start doubting themselves,” Modo said.
“This is where we come in as a technical bench to try and reinstill that confidence, to try and understand a quality that is bigger than the three encounters and durations (we have lost).
“That is what we are going to do, and I am sure that with the confidence that we have and the quality that we have, we are going to turn around the corner.
