Simba's new striker, Mganda Steven Mukwala has admitted to seeing the size and value of the team after he started serving since he joined this season from Ghana's Asante Kotoko.
Mukwala has said that since he landed in the country he has encountered a lot of pressure from the technical bench to the fans, which is different from some of the clubs he played for although he continues to adapt to the environment.
"Everyone can speak as much as they can because you can't stop that. I realize I still have a lot of work to do in this team to achieve the goals, so I can't listen to people's words due to not doing well," said Mukwala.< /em>
The star added, the big thing that gives him great hope to do well this season is due to the great confidence he continues to receive from the technical bench of the team, under the head coach of the team, Fadlu Davids.
"Fans always like good things and I can't promise them anything other than asking for their cooperation, the issue of not scoring I realize hurts many, but I consider it as a challenge that makes me fight more than now," he said. /p>
In the first game of the Premier League this season, which Simba won with 3-0 goals, against Tabora United on August 18, the coach of the team Fadlu Davids said, it is not a matter of one day to unite the players but there is good progress in his team . Mukwala has landed while being remembered most last season when he scored 14 goals with Asante Kotoko behind Berekum Chelsea striker Stephen Amankonah who scored 16 goals. He also emerged as the best player in the Ghana League in December last year with the Asante Kotoko team he joined in August 2022 from URA Club in his hometown Uganda and in his first season he scored 11 goals and provided five assists. While at URA, Mukwala played for three seasons starting in 2020 where in the first season 2019/2020 he emerged as the top scorer of the Uganda Premier League scoring 13 goals and in the 2020/2021 season, he scored 14 then in 2021/2022 he scored 13 goals again< /p>
Mukwala is facing pressure especially after the transfer of the new Cameroonian striker, Leonel Ateba, who has not yet started playing since he joined the team this season after leaving USM Alger in Algeria
