We intend to make people happy, get them excited and put a smile on their faces when they come to watch us play. We want to start winning titles again and return to international football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Uganda Cranes coach said he gained adequate experience to deal with the demands of competitive football during his stints as a national team coach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not a stranger to the African environment. I have coached three national teams in Africa before landing here in Nairobi and there can be no more pressure than coaching a national team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McKinstry said he believes there is comparatively more fierce competition in the Kenyan top tier where it is difficult to predict who will clinch the title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at other countries, there are usually one or two teams that dominate, be it Uganda or Tanzania or any other African country,\u201d McKinstry said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut here in Kenya, even when K&#8217;Ogalo were dominating, there was a lot of competition. Even in the final stages of the competition, there are always at least five teams competing to the end. For example, last season, the top two teams finished tied on points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he will be relying on the two facets of youth and experience to come up with a winning system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have experienced players in the team, and many young players we brought up from the academy. The energy and enthusiasm they bring to the group are really positive. He highlighted the positives and negatives of the prolonged delay of the new season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery coach you talk to will always want more time, more time in training and on the field to work on tactics and techniques so that late there were positives in late. We have had enough time to work with our players and when the league starts no one will say they didn&#8217;t get enough time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe downside of being late is that we are competitive animals, we love to compete but we can&#8217;t replicate that in friendly games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the three months he has spent in the country have been amazing. \u201cThe players have thrown themselves in and we&#8217;re presenting a lot of new ideas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
