Contemporary football demands and calls for keen attention to details.
From close ball control, jealous ball shielding (protection), affluent passing, awesome positional sense, exceptional on and off the ball movements, timely tackles, industriousness, raw energy, heading the ball, eagles’ vision, discipline, accurate shooting to overall command (on the field of play and most times, off), it calls a lot to meet the expectations of a complete professional footballer.
These are key attributes that make complete players that any coach in whichever continent will yearn for.
Ugandan versatile midfielder Rashid Mukungu, 26, is blessed to encompass at least three thirds of these special skills that are rarely embedded in one specimen.
He has the ability to control the ball, pass via all distances, protect the ball, position self, tackle well, shoot, head and a typical leader.
Following a successful spell in Abu Dhabi at P.E Sports Club, Mukungu is now back in Africa.
If all goes according to book, Mukungu will ink a professional contract with Ethiopia Premier League entity Ethiopian Coffee Football Club, in a country where romancing with the ball is a norm and a custom.
Mukungu has been training with Ethiopian Coffee for the past fortnight and has largely impressed.
