Uganda Cranes head coach Sebastien Desabre has revealed the reason behind him fielding youngster Abdu Lumala at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
The 21-year-old performed well in the 2-0 win against DR Congo in the opening match of Group A but was substituted with 10 minutes left to the final whistle. Desabre says Lumala brings a different approach to the game and helps the team attack effectively.
“He adds some vivacity and it is important that when we have the ball we have the possibility to go very fast in offensive parts," he told The Monitor.
