"WE HAVEN'T GIVEN UP IN THE LEAGUE" - PASUWA

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa downplayed remarks that his team has already given up on chances to win the League and put much focus on Cups as he said every tournament bring money.

He said this when talking to the media ahead of their Airtel Top 8 final against Silver Strikers at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe on Saturday.

He said it is maybe just the mindset of the players that if they lose a cup game they are out hence they fight more in the cups than the League but they are still fighting in every competition.

"No. It's not like that [we have given up] but I think it's the approach of the players on the matches. However every game brings money, the League and the cup so we need to work hard in every tournament but may be in the minds they think if you lose a cup game you are out that's why they are put their hearts most in Cup games." Said Pasuwa.

Meanwhile, the People's team have struggled with consistency in

the League as they have 44 points from 25 games while they have reached two finals of the FDH Bank Cup and now Airtel Top 8.

The team is looking for their first trophy in the 2024 season and they will have to beat Silver Strikers if they are to defend the Airtel Top 8.
