ZESCO United Football Club Team Ya Ziko
ZESCO United goalkeeper, Ian Otieno can be the biggest difference between winning and losing a game.
A world class goalkeeper, the Kenyan international shot stopper has been a great signing for the 8-times FAZ/MTN Super League champions.
Otieno often cuts a low profile. However, he belongs to a class of emerging talented goalkeepers on the continent.
On match day, Otieno is a replica of former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes. A commander of his penalty box, Otieno can be heard constantly barking instructions to his defenders, especially when the team is under siege.
The young goalkeeper commands great reflexes. However, it is his ability to begin play from the back and his competence to command his defense which makes him standout.
On Sunday, Otieno will be expected to come to the party and protect ZESCO United’s goalmouth by unpacking some of his finest goalkeeping skills that will keep Nkana strikers from having a productive day.
Nkana Football Club takes on ZESCO United on Sunday in the FAZ/MTN Super League week thirteen fixture scheduled for Nkana stadium, Kitwe.
