"PLAYERS ARE MOTIVATED IN BLANTYRE DERBY" - PASUWA

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets has played down doubts that his team will struggle against Mighty Mukuru Wanderers in the FDH Bank Cup round 16 match saying most players play differently in the fixture.

Pasuwa said this ahead of the match to be played at the Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday afternoon and said people might wonder how his players who failed to shine in the past games may perform in the Blantyre Derby because players are much motivated to shine.

He further said it's questionable that his team was winning games and trophies but in a less period of time, performances have gone down.

"Yah it brings questions because the team was winning many times and four to five months down the line, it is struggling so we need to step up things but the way we have done our training today, everyone is up and we will surely sort this out." Said Pasuwa.

The winner of the big fixture will progress to the quarter finals of the tournament with the loser out

CHIRWA, SENAJI GIVEN CAPTAINCY, KAJOKE SUSPENDED AT BULLETS

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets has elevated right back, Gomegzani Chirwa, as the team's new captain with Kenyan defender, Clyde Senaji, appointed as his deputy.

This has been confirmed by one of the country's online sports platforms, Wa Ganyu, saying Precious Sambani had been stripped his captaincy soon after the team's 2-1 loss against Karonga United on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the defender missed training on Tuesday ahead of the Blantyre Derby as he is disappointed with the change at the team.

However, forward Hassan Kajoke, has been suspended for four months at the team with reasons unknown according to Wa Ganyu.

This development comes after the team's poor run in the 2024 TNM Super League which has seen them recording just four wins, 8 draws and two defeats in 14 games this season and stay 16 points behind leaders, Silver Strikers.

"THE SECOND GOAL WAS OFFSIDE" - PASUWA

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach, Kalitso Pasuwa, said he thinks that the winning goal for Karonga United was scored in an offside position but blamed his boys for failing to defend it too.

Pasuwa said this after his team suffered their second loss of the season in a 2-1 defeat over Karonga United at the Karonga Stadium and said his team played well in the first half but failed to equalise as Karonga played long boys.

"Again complacency on how we conceded those goals, first half maybe you could see us mostly in spaces but we settled when we got the goal and we were on top of them then again we went sleep and they equalised towards the end of the first half."

"On second half it was balance then I don't know maybe on the second goal I am not a referee but i need to rewatch otherwise it was on the offside position but again it's our boys who couldn't pick up in their defending third then we lost the game." Said Pasuwa.
