I was forced to remind the players that they were champions and needed to play like it. I made them understand that they are big players and need to show it in every game,\u201d he said to the Standard. <\/p>\n<p>Ze maria knows that his side will need to play with similar motivation in all the remaining matches since every team plays with extra effort agaainst Gor Mahia. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will have to work very hard to win this league because every team we meet just seems to give 200 per cent against us. As a result we have to find another way to win our matches.<\/p>\n<p>On youngster Amos Nondi who had a brilliant game, Ze Maria urged patience.<br \/>\n\u201cHe is still young and we need to give him time to grow and settle in the team. We don\u2019t want what happened to Eric Ouma to befall him. Now everybody knows Ouma and are always coming out hard on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nondi is the only player who has graduated from the youth team to the senior team. Last year he was loaned out to SoNy Sugar as Gor Mahia was awash with midfield talent. <\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/gm-u19-matope2.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"635\" alt=\"Nondi during his stint with the youth team\" class=\"size-full\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nondi during his stint with the youth team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Former national team coach and current TV analyst Jacob &#8220;Ghost&#8221; Mulee questioned the wisdom of playing Eric Ouma out of his normal position. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Erick &#8216;Marcelo&#8217; Ouma blossomed as a defender, that is where he was discovered and he should be playing in the same role. I am not impressed with the way he is being switched. I do not think that is a way to develop him. The best thing is to let him play the way he was playing before but from his natural position. He can still bring crosses from the left and the strikers will benefit from them. That is the only way to ensure he is still developing.&#8221; said Mulee to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will take on Ulinzi on Wednesday. It is a side that is also rejuvenated after registering a 3-1 win over Sofapaka last weekend. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/ze-maria-credits-motivational-talk-for-victory\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia coach Ze Maria has credited a motivational talk he gave the team as the reason why Gor Mahia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[363],"class_list":["post-8850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amos-nondi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8850"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8850\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8852,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8850\/revisions\/8852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
