Our character is tested, we lost six games last season, and we finished on high, and that must be a motivation. We are working around the clock to change the situation,\u201d explained Kambanda.<\/p>\n<p>According to the manager, the team, also known as Kahirona, is playing good football and dominating opponents in various aspects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe three foreign players issue with work permits was sorted, and they started playing in the last matches,\u201d emphasised Kambanda.<\/p>\n<p>The club head coach Angus Elemu said this is one of those moments where one has to pass through this phase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are playing good football, these things happen, we have to keep trying. We dominated many games despite the loss,\u201d Elemu said.<\/p>\n<p>The coach from Zambia said that he will keep encouraging the players, they are trying their best, and the supporters must have positive hopes for the team.<\/p>\n<p>The coach also said that the players are overwhelmed by last season\u2019s log standing position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to work harder as the other teams are picking up. I told them to behave like champions and champions do not panic,\u201d explained the coach.<\/p>\n<p>Life Fighters played nine games, drew four, lost five, and yet to register a win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zebaldt Ngaruka Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
