Kampala University (KU) head coach Vincent ‘Titi Camara Box-to-Box’ Tumusiime believes his charges have all it takes to win this year’s University Football League.
We are our own enemies. The players are determined and upbeat to register convincing results so that they win the championship.
KU is among the eight teams still in contention at the quarter final stage.
During their first leg last week away to Busitema University, Fibele Muyamana’s penalty and Abdallah Walusimbi scored the goals that won the game 2-1.
Ibrahim Orit had the consolation for Busitema University to create hope and a tense finish come the return leg that will be played on Wednesday, 19th October 2016 at Villa Park in Nsambya.
Tumusiime, fresh from a UEFA Grassroots Coaching Course in Slovenia asserts winners sacrifice a fortune;
You cannot win by accident. You work for it with all your efforts.
Successful teams world over sacrifice a fortune. You need talented players who love what they are doing and team work is also key.
Equally, individual and team training plays a significant role.
