Forget about Ingwe, sexy football belongs to Gor

The Mozambican drill. That is what Gor Mahia is. Anybody who has ever attended a shooting range school must know this.

The drill, according to Wikipedia, is also known as a close-quarters shooting technique that requires the shooter to fire twice into the torso of a target, rapidly assess whether the target has been stopped, and follow up if necessary with a more difficult head shot that, if properly placed, will instantly incapacitate.

And that is exactly what we are doing at Gor Mahia. We want to cut them off. Mercilessly and ruthlessly.

Who can stop us now? With the players we have I don’t see any competition in the next five years.

'MAJESTIC DISPLAY'

Then again I read the story by my worthy opponent Peter Leftie going on and on about that sorry looking team called AFC Leopards and how they can rival some of the biggest teams in Europe.

Here is what Leftie was ranting about: “I never thought I could sample such majestic display of skills in this part of the world until I happened to attend Ingwe’s match against Sony Sugar on Labour Day.

“The sheer soccer artistry displayed by Bernard Mang’oli — dictating the tempo of the game, deciding when and whom to pass the ball to, when the opponent should run or stroll, when to score a free kick or not — reminded me of the golden era of Wilberforce Mulamba, and to an extent Allan Thigo Wuon pap, albeit lesser gifted.

“Mang’oli does not dribble, he caresses the ball.

“Noah Wafula does not shoot to score, he dinks the ball past the keeper in much similar fashion Messi embarrassingly beat the great Manuel Neuer to gift Barca the second goal.

“It lifts my spirits that all the financial difficulties Ingwe is facing notwithstanding, the boys remain true to the philosophy of the beautiful game.

“At Ingwe, we frown upon the win-at-all-costs maxim so viciously employed by our competitors.

“Watching our noisy neighbours — granted they are topping the table at the moment — play Ulinzi last Sunday, I wondered what became of the beautiful game.”

What the Lefties of this world must know is that at Gor Mahia we play sexy football. Not that running and sliding that makes the hopeless lot that are Ingwe supporters get excited about. We are the aristocrats of Kenyan football.

In the said Ulinzi game we held our own. Its just that we didn’t want to score. We don’t need to tire our boys as we have our eyes fixed on retaining the KPL diadem. Unbeaten. We are Gor Mahia.
