Mieno targets group stage
Gor Mahia’s new signing Hmphrey Mieno is setting a place in the 2018 Africa Champions league as his primary target for 2018.
“It feels great to join Gor because it is a big team with quality players and ambitions and making my debut on a winning start was great. Hopefully, we can keep this going especially in the CAF Champions League where I hope we can get to the group stages,” Mieno told Capital Sport.
Beating Esperance will be a tall order should Kogalo play them. Mieno’s experience playing in the Tunisian league will be useful. The vastly experienced Mieno has played for KCB, Sofapaka, Club Africain, Azam, AFC Leopards and Tusker. Gor Mahia have tried to sign him in the past.
“I feel happy to be here and so far it has been very positive. I am still learning my new team-mates and I want us to do great things together. Winning the league is also a priority but right now it is just taking a game at a time,”he continued.
Coach Dylan Kerr for his part is satisfied with the performance of the new signings.
“It is a very good problem for me because now no one can afford to sleep. Everyone knows their position can be taken by anyone else. It is now up to them to fight for the jersey and show me they want to play for K’Ogalo,” the coach said.
Gor Mahia start their KPL campaign against Nakumatt on Saturday. They will then play AS Vegeterianos the following weekend. Should they win they will face off with Esperance.
“It is going to be a very tough season and we have to be prepared to give our all. Nakumatt is a very tough team and they should give us a challenge which will prepare us well for Continental Football. We just need to give our best,” Kerr added.
All the best Hum in gelling with your teammates and making an impact in mayienga.We chased you for too long now repay us by being the midfield maestro we were looking for…
Rermember Onyango Fundi, Abbas Zamalek, Otieno engine, those are who you should emulate, i pray for you, Obongo Nyakalaga opari, omedi muya, omi rembi ogo jawawa, imiwa tinende mar mapira, Pak Gor gi chunyi rembi gi pachi, drink GOR Sleep GOR, eat GOR, AMEN.
Group stage of either CL or Confederation Cup is the target. Should Esperance prove a hard nut to crack then we drop to Confed Cup for a qualification match of the Confed group stage for another bite at the cherry. Disaster is being knocked out by the “Veges…” in the first round and losing the Confed qualification match. Otherwise Mieno’s attitude is spot on. Self belief and confidence can’t hurt.
for the fans we are not worried about group stage, priority NOW is financing , financing, financing and MORE FINANCING.
