Although his team did not do so well last year, James is confident Fruta Conquerors “would be able to compete with the best in the League”, as he expressed when discussing his team’s pre- season preparation.
The midfielder shared, “So far, it’s been great; because in the pre-season, we had a Mash Cup preparation and we finished second, and that give we a little confidence going into Season 7 to play hard, try to win this here, and compete with big teams like GDF and Slingerz.”
In regard to the season ahead, James has said he is sticking to the basics – getting goals and leading his team to victory.
“Some of my goals is to just, like, score more goals and assist my players them with scoring; encourage the young ones, and even encourage the big ones as the captain for the team. Just boost them!” James told this publication.
He had this to say about his captaincy role: “A lot is expected! Because, as the captain, the coach is depending on me to lead the group the right way, and make sure everything is right with preparation.”
Asked whether Fruta Conquerors has the tools to do well in the League, James said his sights are set on a win or a top-three finish.
“I would say I’m confident we winning it and competing in the top-three. Because, as I said, we have a young team and we’re fit,” the confident Fruta Conquerors Captain has expressed.
