After a short period with Napsa Stars, Odhiambo – who had joined from Tusker before the season began – returned and signed for Sofapaka in February.
Odhoji, in an earlier interview, had warned his teammates not to underrate K’Ogalo by looking at the previous games. Gor Mahia have been struggling in their last few games, but we should not rely on that when playing against them, Odhioji said. For my teammates, we have to fight as we have been doing in past Caf competitions. Napsa are a strong team, and I am optimistic of getting a positive outcome away. Gor Mahia have been regulars in Caf and they have that experience. But in modern football, there is nothing like a powerhouse or big team. As Napsa Stars, I think with adequate preparations we will do something and advance to the group stage.
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.
