We want the three points but when we’ve worked for it and not because the opponent refused to honour the match. “We want young talented Rwandan players to take the team to first division…this is my main goal. I have been assured of support by the committee,” he told Times Sport.He added, “We know it won’t be easy, but I hope we will achieve our objectives with a committed team. All the players want to play in the first division and that is a sign that we’re pulling in the same direction.”
