Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech believes Harambee
Stars have a bright future given more time to bond together.
Oliech said their match
against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana served as a climbing ladder for the
upcoming players adding that it was a learning lesson.
He said the team will pick up from what they had
learned from their experienced opponents to prepare for the forthcoming
regional Cecafa tournament and the Chan tournament.
Speaking after the final whistle at the
Nyayo National Stadium after the team went down fighting 2-1, Oliech had
special praise for the home team saying they played with purpose and great
determination in the entire match.
‘It’s unfortunate we lost the
match.We were playing against an experienced team that has been together
for a longer period compared to us.They have good organization and
better facilities and so, I believe we gave our best “ said Oliech.
“Our visitors, added Oliech,
were coming from a big friendly match against Poland.They played
several high profile friendly matches against tough teams like Brazil and so ,
they were psychologically prepared than us”
The France based player
pleaded with Kenya football administrators to organize friendly matches for
Harambee Stars so that they can expose most of the upcoming players, and gain
more experience...
He said he was happy with the team’s
performance during the night and called on Kenyan’s to continue rallying behind
the team and the new coach.
“We have a new coach who
needs time to gel with the team.He told us during our training session that we
don’t have to win, or lose but build a strong momentum to guide us through the
future “said he.
The AJ Auxierre striker made his presence
felt by converting Kenya’s lone goal from the spot in the second half after a
Bafana Bafana player handled the ball in the danger zone.
