Harambee Stars coach Sebastien Migne urged to find right balance in midfield

Sofapaka coach John Baraza has urged Harambee Stars coach Sebastien Migne to find the right balance in his side's midfield pairing.

Baraza, who retired from the national team eight years ago, argued that the midfield is a vital part of any team because the backline and the attacking front heavily depends on it functioning effectively.

Baraza has called on the national team coach to deploy the best pairing in that department when he takes Kenya to Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Migne has a rich pool of midfielders at his disposal, including captain Victor Wanyama (Tottenham Hotspur, England), Dennis Odhiambo (Sofapaka), Anthony Akumu (Zesco United, Zambia) and Ismael Gonzalez, who plays for Spanish club UD Las Palmas Atlético.
