I love to give my players the liberty to express themselves with the ball, play high up the pitch and play to their strengths. I love winning, and big clubs have to win. It starts with organisation, and from the mind, you have to play offensive football in the final third,\u201d Robertinho told the club website.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Byaruhanga has become the kind of player that the former Gor Mahia tactician wants to control his midfield tempo whilst orchestrating attacks from the deep end.<\/p>\n<p>While the Kabale-born midfielder\u2019s recent stellar performance has earned him headlining plaudits, Robertinho has brought on board another enterprising playmaker, Bright Anukani, from rivals KCCA.<\/p>\n<p>The affluence of Vipers midfield, that also boasts of Jamil Kalisa, Siraje Sentamu,David Bagoole and Paul Mucureezi ultimately catapults the Venoms to favourites status ahead of league kickoff.<\/p>\n<p>Manzoki-Sentamu tandem<\/p>\n<p>With a vibrant support cast, first choice forwards Ceaser Manzoki and Yunus Sentamu are expected to plunder goals in gluts.<\/p>\n<p>The Congolese showed renewed gluttony in the Uganda Cups matches at Njeru, while Sentamu\u2019s four goals in the 8-1 battering of Bul in the final pointed to the fact that retaining the golden boot is within his grasp. Ibrahim Orit, Allan Kayiwa, and Dan Sserunkuma are the other options.<\/p>\n<p>Robertinho is well aware that insipid football and inconsistent performances at the expense of the club\u2019s hefty investment cost most of his predecessors their jobs within a short time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith my experience of African football, l know I can work with Vipers players. We\u2019ll try to create a balance between the offensive and defensive. My strategy is to give priority to my offensive play, liberty and expression, as well as emphasis on the defensive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><b>Restoring stability&#8230;Dressing room harmony<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Vipers burnt their hands while experimenting the West Nile connection that saw them sign Muhammad Shaban and Rashid Toha. Toha has been shipped off to Arua Hill after failing to hold down a slot in defence and his love for the sick bay. Shaban was also ever axed mainly for disciplinary issues.<\/p>\n<p>Vipers owner Lawrence Mulindwa spent exorbitantly on his surgery but Shaban\u2019s two turbulent years at St Mary\u2019s were punctuated by indiscipline and recurring injuries.<\/p>\n<p><b>At a glance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Team Vipers SC<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Roberto Oliveira<\/p>\n<p>Titles 4<\/p>\n<p>Last season 3rd<\/p>\n<p>Projection 1st<\/p>\n<p>Vipers transfer deals<\/p>\n<p>In<\/p>\n<p>Bright Anukani<\/p>\n<p>Jack Komakech<\/p>\n<p>Out<\/p>\n<p>Rashid Toha<\/p>\n<p>Bashir Ssekagya<\/p>\n<p>Abraham Ndugwa<\/p>\n<p>Shaban Muhammad<\/p>\n<p>Promoted<\/p>\n<p>Ivan Ashaba<\/p>\n<p>Mutwalib Mugolofa<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel Munoobi<\/p>\n<p>Out on loan<\/p>\n<p>Brian Kalumba (to Gaddafi)<\/p>\n<p>Sula Mpanga (to Gaddafi)<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed Amayo (to Onduparaka)<\/p>\n<p>Denis Mwemezi (Tooro United)<\/p>\n<p><b>[email protected]<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
