NAPSA Stars head coach Perry Mutapa is eying a good game against Kabwe Warriors when his side visit the Godfrey Ucar Chitalu Stadium on Saturday.
After a less than impressive February which saw the Pensioners only managed two points from a possible twelve points, Mutapa is keen on getting a win against the magnificent People’s team.
Mutapa has taken defeat out of the equation as he wants his side to be fighting for wins going forward.
“Warriors have a good run but this is football, and as NAPSA Stars, February was not good for us so we need to pick results because after this game we will only have eight games to go. No one is safe in the position we are at, so we just need to have a good game against Kabwe Warriors,” Mutapa said.
“It’s a new month and February was not good, we are hoping March is good for us. We have worked hard even though February was bad, but we got some points at difficult grounds like Nakambala. We need to get maximum points in the coming games so we are not going to get less than a draw going into this match.”
“For us as NAPSA we have taken the same approach, the philosophy should be the same. Unless otherwise maybe when the turf is not good then maybe we can change our approach, but as a team we always play the same style of football and we always create opportunities, so the most important thing for us now is to put the ball at the back of the net,” he added.
Mutapa will be without former Orlando Pirates winger Augustine Mulenga who is nursing an injury and Dickson Chapa who picked up a red card in the last match.
“Augustine is out owing to an injury, Chapa is equally out because he picked up a red card in the last match. The rest are up for selection,” he said.
NAPSA Stars will be out to seek when they visit Kabwe Warriors in a match week-26 of the MTN Super league set for Railway stadium in Kabwe.
