Bright Stars Football Club defender Enock “Lucio” Walusimbi has confessed that former Uganda Cranes captain Ibrahim Ssekagya inspired him a lot in his career.
“Ibrahim Ssekagya was a complete defender. He was too good at defending. He was very calm and had exceptional leadership skills. I used to go with my father to watch every match Uganda Cranes would be playing. So, he inspired me a lot” Walusimbi confesses.
Previously, Walusimbi was a midfielder before he changed to play at the back, majorly from the influence of the father who was also a defender.
“My father was also a defender and he used to coach as well. He encouraged me to play defence and up to now it is where i play.” Walusimbi clarified.
The Bright Stars player is keen to resume football again ahead of the 2020/21 Uganda Premier League season.
Walusimbi is good at game reading, tackling, man marking, ball passing (short and long passes) as well as heading the ball.
