EMMANUEL Mayuka says his aim is to work hard and score more goals to challenge for the MTN/FAZ Super Division top scorer’s award and help Napsa Stars FC win more games.
The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (AfCON) winner said Napsa Stars has a lot of work to do to move away from the relegation zone of the MTN/FAZ Super Division table.
“My aim is to keep on scoring. Every striker targets to be a top scorer so that is what I’m targeting as well but it will not only take me but the whole team to push me,” he said.
Speaking after scoring in Napsa Stars’ first win of the season when they beat Green Buffaloes 1-0 in a Lusaka Derby at Woodlands Stadium on Saturday, Muyuka hailed his family at home and at Napsa Stars for helping him to rediscover his form.
Mayuka said he is taking it one step at a time with his teammates to help the club get back to winning ways in the league.
“We are trying to work as hard as we can but we know everything takes time.
“We are taking it one game at a time and now we are picking points, we just have to keep on working hard.
“Everything is different. There are challenges. Last season we did well so this season it will be tough but we will try to do our best and we ate taking it one step at a time,” Mayuka said.
The 2012 Golden Boot winner who played for Kabwe Warriors before going to Europe where he featured for Young Boys and South Hamp-ton in the English Premier League said the Zambian league has developed into a tough league with a lot of teams challenging for the league title.
Mayuka has so far scored three goals in all competitions for The Pensioners having scored two goals in the CAF Confederation Cup and one goal in the Super Division.
