Werder Bremen player, Melvyn Lorenzen is eager to don the famous Cranes’ jersey for the very first time on Tuesday afternoon as Uganda takes on Zimbabwe at the Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
The lanky forward, who is blessed with a silky first touch on the ball is not at all worried by the physicality threat from the Central Africans.
Oozing with profound confidence, he noted;
In Germany, lots of clubs and players play a physical game and I have been through it and ready for it.
Lorenzen with the rest of the 16 Uganda Cranes players had feel of the Rufaro Stadium astro turf on Monday evening in an hour training session.
Ironically, unlike many of the players who decried its poor state, he found no problem with the playing surface.
“Turf is fine. The ball can move well. It is just matter of timing the ball bounce. I have enjoyed the co-operation with the other players. They are a great family to be with” he advised.
On playing for Uganda against Botswana, Lorenzen still weighs the option.
Like I said in Uganda some time back, I am awaiting paper work from Germany Government and I will decide within the next four days which I think is quite a short time. Anyway, lets see after the Zimbabwe game.
The Werder Bremen player was born in England to a Ugandan father, Drake Mugisa and German mother before the family trans-located to Germany.
He graduated through the ranks of Werder Bremen youth system.
Key of attributes is the awesome great first touch on the ball, on and off the ball movement as well as the shooting abilities at the opposition goal.
