Ingwe fans deserve silverware, admit Beja, Were

AFC Leopards midfielder Hassan Beja and defender Gedion Werre have acknowledged the pressure from the club's supporters to secure a trophy.

Speaking to Citizen Digital following their 3-1 quarter-final victory over underdogs Compel FC in the FKF Cup at Dandora Stadium, the pair emphasized that the recent investments made by the club in the transfer market and their poor show campaign in the league have heightened expectations and added to the pressure on the team.

"The pressure from our supporters is intense right now because we were considered favorites to win the domestic title, but we fell short.

“Now, they expect us to win this one, the FKF Cup," remarked Werre.

Continuing, he stated, "At the beginning of the season, the club made several signings, and the fans had high hopes for us winning the league.

“Despite that not happening, they are now pushing us to secure this FKF Cup, and we won't let them down."

His team mate, former Nzoia Sugar marksman Hassan Beja says he enjoys every fiber of it.

''We have taken in positively (the pressure) and I guess it acts as extra motivation because winning give us pride'', he stated.

He went on,'' The fans have not celebrated a title in a while, so the pressure is justified''.

Ingwe will now face title favorites Police FC in an entertaining FKF cup semi-final, the latter having edged out Sofapaka 4-0.
