Luanda Villa coach Saleh eyes consistency after weekend win

Luanda Villa tactician Leonard Saleh wants to use the upcoming fixtures to test the National Super League side’s consistency after breaking the losing streak.

Saleh believes it is time to win back fans' confidence by recording positive results following a poor run.

“I thank God that Luanda Villa eventually recorded the first win away against Muhoroni Youth FC.

“This means the team is on the right track, and I am keen to ensure we continue that way. History also favored us when we met Muhoroni Youth FC.

“There is no peaceful match that Luanda Villa has lost in Muhoroni; hence the 2-0 weekend win,’ Saleh, who had drawn with Dimba Patriots ahead of Muhoroni's encounter, said.

He added that the struggles he experienced when he joined the team after the abrupt departure of his predecessor were artificial.

“Luanda Villa lost four games consecutively after I took over because some players had their interests elsewhere.

“When they left, now we have the true Luanda Villa, and you can begin to see the results." Saleh attributed the draw and the win he earned in six games to the departure of players who were signed with other clubs and the Luanda Villa management's quick efforts to begin signing new players.

Meanwhile, Saleh has confirmed that he has finished revamping his backline.

He says he has embarked on fixing the midfield and the striking force by looking for requisite talent to fill the vacancies after more than eight players left the club.

Because of a gaming firm tourney this weekend, Saleh expects their NSL fixtures to be rescheduled, hoping to continue their winning streak in the next game.

Despite the weekend win, Luanda Villa dropped one position to position twelve on the National Super League log with twenty-six points.
