Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>After 360 minutes, Uganda Cranes defence is still intact in the ongoing 2022 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

That gives coach Micho Sredojevic untold joy and firm belief that it is still \u2018mission possible\u2019.<\/p>\n

After accruing two laboured 1-0 victories over Rwanda, the Serbian spared time to elucidate on its importance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t an easy match (away) against Rwanda with their tactical coach Vincent Mashami.We had problems stopping them in the wide areas with Haruna Niyonzima and Jacques Tuyisenge. To score a goal against Uganda is not easy and I\u2019m happy we limited their damage,\u201d Micho says.<\/p>\n

As Cranes held on to Fahad Bayo goal in Kigali last week, Micho changed left-back Isaac Muleme for Aziz Kayondo and also galvanised the right wing by bringing on KCCA\u2019s Julius Poloto to give cover to teammate Denis Iguma at right-back.<\/p>\n

At home, Kayondo and Muleme started on the left side.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe scored the goal at the right time and that gave us confidence.We are still far from where we want to be,\u201d Micho asserted.<\/p>\n

With constant changes at the heart of defence, Micho\u2019s side have kept Rwanda, Mali and Kenya at bay.<\/p>\n

He kept the backline of Iguma, Enoch Walusimbi, Timothy Awany and Muleme that held forte at the Nyamirambo Stadium when they hosted the Amavubi on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He has also continued with his goalkeeping experiment, throwing on St George\u2019s Charles Lukwago for both classes with Rwanda.<\/p>\n

He also started the campaign in goal against Kenya.<\/p>\n

Ismail Watenga played the home game against Mali. This rotation is ongoing following the retirement of Denis Onyango this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we broke the jinx by scoring that goal and getting an away win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have coached two nations and six clubs in Africa but I have never felt this pressure. I treasure Rwanda but had the hope of 42 million Ugandans,\u201d said the 51-year-old gaffer.<\/p>\n
