Anticipating the two teams to sit deep and capitalise on counter attacks, Firat said that they will have to “push” for a win.
“They will try to close the game and play on time. We are aware of this and we have our ideas on how to open the game and capitalise on their weak sides,” said the Turkish coach.
Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat has rallied the players to fight as a unit when they face Zimbabwe and Namibia in their last two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers Group “J” matches.
Kenya face hosts Zimbabwe on Friday at the 46,000-seater Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane in Limpopo province, South Africa from 6 pm local time (7 pm Kenyan time).
