Kaze urges Mukura to show character against Police

Mukura coach Cedric Kaze has challenged his players to stand up tall when Police FC come to Huye town on Saturday for the Turbo King Football league match due to be played at Kamena ground.The Burundian-born tactician wants a positive reaction from his players after two back to back defeats against APR and Rayon Sports.Kaze, 33 said the players need to rediscover their confidence to have a better performance after experiencing a rather an indifferent start to the season.“The players know we can’t afford to lose three consecutive matches, so they need to go out and get good results against Police,” Kaze told Times Sport on Wednesday.He added, “Police is one of the teams you cannot afford to underestimate especially after losing their previous match against AS Kigali.”“Some of my players are going through a lack of self confidence after a series of bad results, but it’s my duty as coach to turn it around and I hope we shall get back to winning ways against Police,” noted the former Prince Rwagasore FC coach.Kaze will however be without three key players due to injuries. They include Ildesbrand Nshuti (knee), Hamidou Simpenzwe (ankle) and Sulaiman Mudeyi (shoulder) sustained in the 1-0 loss against Rayon Sports last weekend.Mukura, who started the season hammering AS Muhanga 4-1, stand ninth on the league standings with nine points after winning three and losing four matches respectively.Going by statistics, Mukura has had an edge over Police in four of the past matches played in Huye since 2010, winning two and drawing the other two.Sam Ssimbwa’s Police will be out to win after losing to league leaders AS Kigali 3-0 last weekend. Police are placed seventh with 11 points.
