Extra Bula FC striker Christopher Wasasala is looking forward to the team’s future as they navigate through a demanding second round campaign in Papua New Guinea. The squad has faced significant challenges, particularly due to stringent security measures that limited player mobility primarily to their hotel, except during training and match times. Nevertheless, Wasasala is encouraged by the team’s adaptability and is optimistic about their development in confidence and consistency.
In reflecting on his experiences during this phase of the competition, Wasasala highlighted noticeable improvements in the team’s performance compared to the first round. He is confident that the players are not only learning from their past mistakes but are also evolving as a cohesive unit. “I’ve learned a lot this second round. The boys have improved immensely from the first round. We’re learning from our mistakes, and the team is gradually becoming stronger,” he stated.
Wasasala acknowledged the unique challenges presented by the Papua New Guinea environment while emphasizing that these difficulties were never used as excuses. “The atmosphere here is different and indeed a challenge for us, but it wasn’t an excuse. The boys have adapted well,” he noted.
Looking ahead, he identified consistency as a crucial aspect for the team. “It’s all about consistency for the boys. We need to adapt to the various games we face, the challenges, and the playing style. I believe the boys have improved significantly game by game,” Wasasala remarked.
