The South American has now explained his main target is to help the team have a good campaign. It took me time but step by step I gained confidence which is very important to any player, Silva told
Goal. My aim now is to help the team perform well in the ongoing season. I am not interested in the numbers, my focus is on the entire team. If the team performs well then I will be satisfied.
It is the first time the Brazillian has come to Kenya and he has already fallen in love with her citizens. I have settled quite well and I m making friends every day. Kenyans are good people and are friendly as well, he continued.

But I am happy the way the team played, especially in the first half. We also controlled the second half but did not create clear chances like we did in the first one. I am also happy with our defensive organization. When I came, this was the main problem of the team, but we managed to keep a clean sheet. I don t remember our opponents creating a clear scoring opportunity; I am happy to have at least solved it.
The tactician hinted he might not sign more players especially after the arrival of former skipper Haron Shakava, Burkinabe midfielder Abdul Karim Nikiema Zoko and Brazilian forward Wilson Silva Fonseca.
“We have finished the deal with Harun [Shakava] and he is now our player again,” Ochola told
Goal on Tuesday. “We have handed him a two-year deal and we are happy to have him in the squad again.
“We hope his experience will help the team do well in the FKF Premier League and also in the Caf Confederation Cup, where we want to go past the group stage.”
Ochola further said they are happy the player will be eligible to feature in Confederation Cup hence the decision to re-sign him.
“He is eligible to play for us in the Confederation Cup and it is another reason why we felt he can be of help to us, we want to use his experience at the backline which has not been performing well in recent matches,” Ochola continued.
