Phiri was introduced in the second half of the league game against Dodoma Jiji and scored the second goal in the 2-0 victory won by Simba, he said he thought it was a good start for him to make sure he does more than what the fans want to see from him
>"The fans have a lot of love for me, which gives me the strength to fight to make sure I do more than what they expect from me, although I can't say how many goals I want to score this season, but I will score as much as I can," said Phiri
em>"Competition is fierce in the team, which is good for every player to put in more effort, that's why who starts playing and who starts on the bench, the coach will decide according to what he sees in the respective game"
Phiri has said that he is fit to fight to ensure the ongoing league, he shows competition from the squad to the opposing team and is grateful for the opportunity given to him by the coaches of the squad and his responsibility is not to let them down
"I think it will be a good season in the sense of the competition you will show to the team and the team, players to the players, that will help our standards to rise more and the fans to enjoy the entertainment," he said
