"WE NEED TO BE TACTICALLY GOOD IN ORDER TO WIN" - PASUWA

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach says his team needs to be good in every department of the team in order to beat Silver Strikers but admits that this can not just come on a silver platter.

He said this ahead of the big match at the Silver Stadium on Saturday afternoon where he said his team needs to be prepared enough if they are to record a win.

"Like always, these are games which are always close maybe in terms of everything. Its a possession team that is like what we do also so we need to be tactically good in order to get the points so I think it's a team effort from each and every one in the house." Said Pasuwa.

He further recalled in their previous match against the Bankers when they conceded through a counter attack on the dying minutes and said the team has made corrections in order to avoid similar mistakes.
