“As captain of the team, I have a massive responsibility to push the team to work in the way the coach wants and also to try and motivate the team to get better results.
"You also need to be talking to the young lads who have never been in certain positions before. Sometimes it is really massive to have that responsibility on your shoulders but I think I am up to the task and so far it has been good on my end.”

Mieno received praise from former Arsenal and Real Madrid forward, Emmanuel Adebayor back in February, who was at the Ruaraka Grounds to watch Tusker play against Kariobangi Sharks and compared him to Yaya Toure.
“Adebayor is one of the best strikers from Africa of his generation. He had some words of encouragement for me and I do not take it for granted because to have such a guy utter such words is really encouraging and positive to take ”
Tusker will face Kariobangi Sharks this weekend before facing Gor Mahia the week afterwards.
