Coach Oktay has now slammed the league organizers for hating on Gor Mahia and wondered whether they (KPL) ‘really love the football that they manage.’

Coach Oktay has now slammed the league organizers for hating on Gor Mahia and wondered whether they (KPL) ‘really love the football that they manage.’
“All the teams in our Group have seen their matches postponed, why can’t KPL do the same here? Gor Mahia is playing for Kenya, I really don’t understand why they are doing this to Gor Mahia. I don’t know what to do, imagine we play on Thursday and then Sunday,” Said Oktay
He added, “All my players are tired, others are injured, so where do I get a team to play on Thursday and Sunday? Why is all this only happening to Gor Mahia? Kenyans should show love to this team because they are representing the country and not individuals. I simply don’t know what to do.”
Gor Mahia still stands a chance to reach the quarters of the Caf competition for the first time in the club’s history if they beat the Angolan side.
