 We still continue. My name is Mark. We are still here. We are talking about local football. But of course as we speak right now, a lot is happening at the National Stadium. Keep Kaino Classic World Continental Tour. They were targeting 6,000 fans. I don't know whether that has been achieved. We should be getting to our reporter's speech since morning. Just to get glimpses of what is happening and keep you updated tomorrow. Epic showdown. It was expected to be so. Marathon is concerned. Keep Choke up against the Ethiopian Kenanese who pulled out due to Carl Fincher making the competition colorless. Are you looking forward to even tomorrow as you are looking forward to it before the brawl of the Kenanese? I mean, with Bekele and with Bekele into the rest. Bekele was just 2 seconds about 2 seconds of Keep Choke's record. And it was a rest that everyone was looking forward to. But now the organizers have done played it and said no, it was not just a 2-man dress. But we all know it was a 2-man dress even during the eventless conference 2 of them. But then, I mean, this is for Keep Choke to bring it home actually. It's going to be an exciting rest still. Even in the latest category there. There's actually a very, very strong The likes of Bridget Coskay Bridget Coskaya there's actually a very strong rest in the latest category. So it's one dress that I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Though one of the highlights there are actually two highlights Bekele out of the rest with I think a Carl Fincher that he says is sustained late to the rest and the issue of shoes it's been a dominant discussion in this one. Yeah, and to just go and see how that plays out as well. What is this problem with shoes man? Adidas and Nike. I think it's I don't think it's really about quality there's some funny games going on because also here I don't I think I got injured because I'm not used to this shoe but I don't think shoes can be an excuse like Ron is saying we are expecting action to stand lower last year and probably sub 1.9 below there and it will be very That will be good for him. Good for his personal image and brand already. But you know since Nike launched this new this new line of shoes around September 2018 we've seen the marathon times go down considerably but then there's a solid case against shoes so to say but then Kipchogi also spoke about it I think yesterday and said look we are in the age of technology and it's not the shoes that run it's people that run but then there's just the whole discussion around it and the world athletics as also I think early this year issued some direction against the maximum thickness of the foam for the shoes well it's not the shoes that run but then it's one of those subplots in the main plot that however will be missing one main actor who is Bekele So of course as Baris Mike gets fixed let's continue you are talking about a very important aspect of recycling of coaches because there are those prominent names we are used to as far as coaching is concerned Francis Kimansi James Nandwa Stan Lyokumbi John Kamao now is it high time for former players like Kambani like Modo Kimaani translating to coaching just like what we are seeing overseas in English well ideally not all former players can make great coaches and there are people who not really kicked a ball as much like Mourinho and they've made really great coaches as in vendor wasn't one of the four players but then he's transitioned and become a really great coach Terion was a great player but coaching has been it's been another issue but we need to see more Kenyan players and more young people in Kenya taking up coaching roles I mean there is that opportunity for sure but you feel there is in England for instance one of the major issues has been not many English coaches go outside England or outside Britain to coach those who've done it haven't been very successful one example is David Moyes who tried out at Manchester United after Everton when he was successful then went to Spain and wasn't successful really but you see lots of South American coaches coming venturing outside South America and they're successful Mourinho came into England and did really well so I mean Kenyan coaches it's high time that we see more of them going outside the borders going outside the comfort zone to just compete to the other coaches in the continent sure deal I think we're just getting to bury shortly after his mic is fixed a little bit of technical hit but we continue with you we were talking about our players who did exceptionally well as far as featuring for the national team is concerned top clubs go RFC and how their life or rather lives have changed to the worst is it a matter of personal responsibility or the stakeholders of Kenyan football should take blame for the predicaments these people are going through yeah you see recently there was I saw on Instagram that Radul had had a throwback photo of a certain moment she was airing some matches at New York stadium and she said at that point everyone including ourselves thought that the league was on an upward trajectory but that's not been the case I mean we were rising really fast 22 or 9 2010 2011 there was super sport there was task there was all this flair in the league but it just died and it's no longer there it's no longer found there is no money players are struggling so for me it's a question of the people at the top if they don't set the pace if they don't inject the professionalism then at the end of the day it's the players that suffer you know indeed it's the players that suffer you agree right as Amanu has been you know rescosing several parts of the country covering Kenyan football top tier that is KPL and national super league matches going to sudi stadium to cover so yeah you know going to now disbanded he was passing by Moroni the other day and I saw the facility looking shambolic since you know the club was disbanded I don't know will you read from the same page with him yeah I agree entirely everything must depend in this case from how management operate management must set a clear plan strategy is very key and the commitment to oversee to oversee and maybe how this this club run and remember we should take this club's project and we have to take the players as instruments and resources so if the management at top doesn't take care of the responsibility well we are likely to see like what we've seen in many clubs disbanded if you've been down to areas of Moroni and Shibuya agrochemical just died one of the top clubs now Moroni which has been sponsored by Moroni Shibuya Shibuya and Sonishibya there was only growth to clubs and I blame it for me I blame it on the management as a sports market how comes the corporate has been sort of scared and reluctant to come sponsor not only football activities but sports in general there has been that aspect of the atoms from corporate we saw what's happened to Sakata during the tenure of Saminyamwe it's alleged that a top football official sought for a kickback but they rejected they decided unanimously to halt the funding of the tournament but we've seen Chapadimba coming but good to see a lot of young players showcasing their talent in machinan but I don't know to my question what really happens like bed power in your own case well I honestly feel that sports at most of the time hasn't been a pocket end of the day and even if you're going into any sponsorship you'd want to do that to the sole purpose of helping a brand grow to the next level as I've initially pointed out you go to Nyayo stadium when it was still operational and we are happy that it's back you find maybe 100 funds and just a hand full maybe another 100 or 200 are following the march online so it's not a really attractive number so at the end of the day companies would rather put that money into other ventures but just my personal opinion the likes of sportpesa were doing pretty well there's so much companies can still do but at least sportpesa was setting the pace in what corporates can do to help sports and football move to the next level wow Barry you are part in short in terms of where you see Kenyan football in the coming few days or years or months Nick Muenda said I really interviewed him prior to 2016 and he told me that his main agenda was to help the national team for 2022 World Cup in Qatar I still have that bite for future reference in case he denies but where you see Kenyan football heading to we've seen sponsorships coming but around the corner people want to get into office Nick is also seeking to defend his position and get re-elected for me I think two things number one there has to be accountability and number two investment if we invest in the right places with the right people we will grow 2022 is 2 years I think it's a bit ambiguous but for me structure is also important so that when you're when you're planning I had less you know this and go into this and the next now we have very viable programs in under 15 and 17 it is very very good for federation and this they have done excellently what I intend to see is probably big key build up marches we don't need final build up marches we need to take maybe the national teams for the ladies and the men for serious build up marches and serious families so that we can get the necessary experience fair enough Roni you are parting short it's exciting couple of months ahead there is the election there are the deals that have been signed so I mean I don't want to pour cold water on that but I'm just hopeful that at least things are going to change for the better excellent conversation quality interview with these two gentlemen familiar faces as far as this platform is concerned they have been here before Roni has been missing in action for quite a while and I was just getting scared maybe corona virus pandemic caught up with him but it's glad to see him back on the show good to have you man and it's been an honor having you but thank you for coming through and looking forward Chelsea winning again this afternoon your team yes or no now Asnol doing under�aila genre atata kusiti mt unveiled we discussing about that in the next few minutes taking a short break we'll be back shortly don't go stay tuned yes
