ZESCO United Football Club Team Ya Ziko
ZESCO United goalkeeper, Ian Otieno can be the biggest difference between winning and losing a game.
A top-class goalkeeper, the Kenyan international shot stopper has been a great signing for the 9-times 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 boasts great reflexes. However, it is his ability to begin play from the back and his competence to command the 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 Forest Rangers strikers from having a productive day.
ZESCO United host Forest Rangers in one of Ndola’s fiercest derby’s in the MTN week 12 fixture scheduled for Sunday at the Levy Mwanawasa stadium, Ndola.
