Mangolo dreams to play abroad

-

Security Systems leftback, Benson Mangolo has been incredibly difficult to breakdown and has instantly solved his team’s defensive frailties. Now the player has a dream to be even better and create interest abroad.

With a lot of flare and showboatin­g to his game, Mangolo has turned to be a fan favorite and he admits that he plays his football well and goes all out to enjoy and have fun.

“I go into the pitch to enjoy my game and I don’t often get frustrated because I will be enjoying myself that way, it’s easy to bring out the best in you,” he said.

Monitoring his movements and positionin­g has been a very pivotal component of his game, as he has balanced through overlappin­g and crossing the ball into the box and tracking back to add numbers into his team’s defense.

“At the national junior teams, I was a winger and I was converted to a left back, I have been guided to make

timely movements and I think I have really improved and the coach keeps on helping me improve.”

It’s every player’s dream to play abroad, I have worked hard and you never know who is watching you so I keep on working hard and trying to stay consistent; every game I give it my all because I want to play abroad, and as long as I am in a different league I will be happy.”

Mangolo is also confident

that he will be called up again to the national team due to his consistent performanc­e.

On the other hand, his Coach, Kaelo ‘Wire’ Kaelo had this to say:

“He is a fantastic player, it’s good that he is playing for our team and he is a player who takes advice from the coaches. If he continues like that he will improve as a player, he is developing his emotional intelligen­ce side as well.”
