BAMUSI SAYS 2023 SEASON WAS HIS WORST CAMPAIGN
PHINEAS Bamusi wants to quickly forget the events of the 2023 Premiership season when he endured one of the campaigns in his football career spanning over a decade.
The usually razor-sharp winger was a pale shadow of the player who helped the Green Machine to the league title in 2016 and Triangle to the Chibuku Super Cup glory two years later.
The CAPS United forward failed to register his name on the scoresheet for the first time in a season since introducing himself on the scene with Buffaloes more than 10 years ago.
“Basically, I want to do better than what I did last season going into the new term. I think 2023 was my worst season since I started playing football.
“I hardly managed to significantly contribute to the good of my team.
“It was very tough for me seeing the fans yelling to see what I usually give them.
“I really felt sorry for them. “At first I was a bit cool and patient thinking that I would eventually raise the bar and start scoring and assisting my teammates.”
He added:
“But as time moved on, it became a matter of me trying too hard to be able to really assert myself in the game.
“I became desperate and then lost the plot.
“At the end of the season, I started to consider leaving the team. I thought I had disappointed the fans enough and I needed to go elsewhere.
“But I would like to thank my teammates and coach Lloyd Chitembwe who have always backed me. They stood with me even when the chips were down.
“They are the ones who also advised me to be a little bit patient and hang on at the team.”
