Nairobi Kenya: Kenya coach Adel Amrouche has attributed Harambee Stars’ string of
draws to the absence of injured star players such as Macdonald Mariga
and Victor Wanyama.
The Belgian said this in a post-match interview after a 2-2 draw at
the Kamuzu Stadium in Malawi on Wednesday afternoon in a 2014 World Cup
Group F qualifier.
“I am not happy with the result. Every coach plays for a win but it
is difficult for us in the absence of the likes of Mariga and Wanyama.
Most of the players we featured are locals. I am, nonetheless, happy
with the locals’ performance,” he said.
Kenya’s Andrew Murunga and Malawi’s Chimango Kaira’s last gasp own
goal helped Kenya force a draw after the hosts, the Flames, had twice
taken the lead through Robin Ngalande and Robert Ng’ambi.
Asked about his relationship with the suspended Dennis Oliech,
Amrouche said: “That is a kitchen matter for us. It is not for Malawi.”
The France-based deposed skipper Oliech earned the coach’s wrath for late arrival in camp, according to Kenya press.
Wednesday’s result was a third consecutive draw in the 2014 World Cup
Group F qualifier for Kenya who anchor the group on three points and
are certainly out of the race.
