FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Prepare for FDH Bank Cup Showdown against The Boyz
After a lengthy break from competitive football, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets are gearing up for their return to action in the FDH Bank Cup Round of 16 against lower-league opponents The Boyz. Assistant Coach Gilbert Chirwa addressed the media to discuss preparations and expectations ahead of the highly-anticipated tie at Kamuzu Stadium.
Serious Approach to Every Opponent
"As Bullets, we take every game seriously," Chirwa stated. "A cup game is a cup game – there’s no such thing as a big or small team. We’ve only heard the name, but we’re taking the tie very seriously," he added.
Focus and Concentration after Prolonged Break
The team has been sidelined for weeks due to scheduling conflicts and cancellations, but Chirwa remains confident. "We resumed training on Monday and have since intensified our sessions," he shared. "A cup match must never be taken lightly—we’ll treat them with full seriousness, like any other opponent," he emphasized.
Sharp Players and Full Squad
Chirwa reported that the players have been looking sharp during training, and the full squad is present. "All players are present, including Singo," he announced. "This gives us the full squad to choose from, which is a very positive situation for the technical panel," he added.
Importance of Respecting Lower-League Opponents
"Facing a team you know very little about is always tricky," Chirwa admitted. "Cup football is unpredictable—especially against lesser-known sides. That’s why we’re preparing with full concentration and not underestimating them," he emphasized.
Winning Ways and Returning to Kamuzu Stadium
"As we return to Kamuzu Stadium, we expect the boys to be focused from the first whistle," Chirwa stated. "We want them to take the game seriously and maintain concentration," he added. "What happened after the Karonga United game was unfortunate," he acknowledged. "Yes, fans have high expectations, but damaging the bus and confronting players was uncalled for," he continued. "In football, you win, draw, or lose—it’s part of the game. But we are ready to move forward together," he concluded.
With the team focused and determined, fans can look forward to an exciting return to action for FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in the FDH Bank Cup Round of 16 against The Boyz.For the latest football news and updates, follow us on Facebook.
