Most are in agreement about his pace and willingness to run for an entire game with immense work rate.<\/p>\n<p>He possesses lots of energy to put defenders under pressure without necessarily caring about turning a white strip into brown inside five minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geoffrey Sserunkuma (Bidvest, South Africa)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are not so many accomplished finishers in Uganda apart from Sserunkuma. He has earned his reputation as a predator who can score two goals from one chance.<\/p>\n<p>He has the knack of losing his marker in a flash inside the penalty area. In addition, the Bidvest striker has excellent positioning to get his teammates to feed him easily.<\/p>\n<p>Sserunkuma hangs wells behind the sweeper and is a descent header of the ball when given the opportunity even though he has spent most of his playing career on the national team bench.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Ssentongo (URA)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bearing in mind that football may not have so many second chances to give, Ssentongo is one of the lucky ones after his Cranes debut against South Africa was far from impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Playing on his own against much taller opponents, picking the high balls played to him was impossible. Even with small frame, he still works tirelessly to close defenders.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See original article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106040092.html\" title=\"The Men Tasked With Goals\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Men Tasked With Goals<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Ismail Kigongo 4 June 2011 Geoffrey Massa (itesalat, Egypt) Massa is loathed and loved in equal measure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":435966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-435965","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-local-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
