Importance of Each Game in the Title Race
"Well, it’s very important for Bullets as a team," Chirwa began. "You know, previously we had a break for the general elections, and just last week, we played against The Boys SFC in the FDH Bank Cup. Now we are back at Kamuzu Stadium to face Dedza Dynamos in a league game. We are not taking this lightly," he added.
Preparing for Tough Opponents
Chirwa acknowledged that Dedza Dynamos have caused problems for Big Bullets in the past but believes that playing at home gives them an edge. "Every team that plays against Bullets works very hard to make a name for themselves. They fight to turn the tables," he said. "But we are aware of that, and we’ve prepared accordingly. We anticipate a tough game for sure, but the fact that we are at home gives us an edge. We are encouraging our boys to make the most of their chances and collect the three points," he added.
Maintaining Momentum in the Second Round
The second round of the 2025 campaign is considered the final stretch, and Bullets are pushing hard to maintain their early momentum and collect points in each match. "It’s very important," Chirwa stated. "We know we are competing with other teams, but our focus is on ourselves. We concentrate on playing our game and making sure the players execute our instructions. The second round is always tough—it’s the final stretch. So we’re pushing the players to be serious and to get the results we need," he added.
Rebuilding the Team While Competing for the Title
Bullets have been focusing on improving their transitions and reminding players to utilize chances effectively, despite losing several key players before the season started. "We’ve been working on transitions—building from the back, linking through midfield, and finishing in the final third," Chirwa revealed. "We’ve also reminded the players of the importance of utilizing chances. For your information, we lost about 14 players before this season, including our entire defence. We’re rebuilding while competing for the title, and though that’s not an excuse, it’s part of our journey," he added.
Team News and Injury Updates
Two players, Andrew Jovinala and Richard Chimbamba, are currently out with injuries but the rest of the squad is available for selection. "We have Andrew Jovinala and Richard Chimbamba out with injuries, but the rest of the squad is available for selection," Chirwa confirmed.
