On scoring three goals in his first two matches

The reason why I was not playing in the first few matches of the season is because I started this season on the sidelines due to an injury I got in pre-season, and since then, my focus was just on regaining my fitness before I could start playing. I must say, it was not an easy process, but I was determined to make it because my intentions this season were to do well. We played a couple of friendly matches during the pre-season and we were doing well, but unfortunately, I got injured in the last friendly match just before the season started, and that was a big setback for me. But I’m back playing now, and fortunately for me, we have a good team and good players, and we have been working hard. During my time on the sidelines, the focus was on coming back. Scoring goals is something I have been doing since I started my career back home in Namibia. My first game of this season was against Richards Bay FC, and I ended up scoring two crucial goals, which gave us a 2-1 win. But to be honest with you, before the match started, there was too much pressure on me to perform, not just individually but as a team as well. You must remember that in the previous match, we had suffered a tough 3-2 loss against Royal AM. So, when we faced Richards Bay, it was a big mountain to climb.

On top of that, they scored first and we had to come from behind to get the three points, which was very important for our morale. It was not an easy match to play, but we did it nonetheless, by showing our determination and teamwork to win. The following match was another challenging one against Supersport United, but my mindset was different this time around. I went into this match with a lot of confidence that I had gained from scoring in the previous match against Richards Bay. My confidence was sky-high before the match. I was never going to miss an opportunity like that and when it came, I grabbed it with both hands. This tells you how much confidence means in football. If your confidence is high, you have a better chance of doing well and if your confidence is low, things might not work out the way you want them to.
