CAF CL: Senaji looking forward to battle against TP Mazembe

CAF CL: Senaji clocks full minutes as Big Bullets book date with TP Mazembe

Former AFC Leopards defensive midfielder Clyde Senaji is hoping for a great battle when his Nyasa Big Bullets side from Malawi takes on TP Mazembe in CAF Champions League game on Sunday from 4PM EAT.

Bullets easily dislodged Dragons from Guinea Bissau 3-0 on aggregate in the first preliminary round but Senaji says the game against Mazembe will be a totally different ball game.

"We anticipate a tough match but we have prepared very well for it. We want to do well continentally this season and we are therefore going for a win. It is a tough hunting ground but I think we can get a good result away and finish the job at home in the return leg," Senaji said in an exclusive interview with Mozzart Sport.

At a personal level, Senaji knows too well what playing in Africa's premier football competition will do to his career.

"This is like an audition for me and I know if I do well I will attract interest from bigger clubs and that is what every player wants - career progression. The focus is in doing the very best I can at Nyasa Big Bullets and help them achieve the goals we have set but at the same time I am hoping my performance will catch the eyes of bigger clubs in Africa and beyond." He said.

Primarily a holding midfielder, Senaji has been used as a centerback at Nyasa Big Bullets, a role he perfected during his time at AFC Leopards. He has settled very well at the club and is adored by the club's fans.
