“I have tactical and technical players, what this team needs, the league is just starting and everyone is tense.

“There is much to be done and I believe the team will get better,” he stated.

Similarly, hat trick hero, Mirzo said it would be difficult for any team to defeat them at the Samson Siasia Stadium.
