“We are trying to build a strong team and we continue to identify the best players possible so both Okello and Ssemugabi are important players,” he responded to the media.

“Everyone here has a role to play but only time differs and we all saw how significant they were when their time came.”

“I know the potential of Okello but we have to handle him patiently because we all know what we can achieve when he is fully at his best,” Put noted.

“For Ssemugabi he is such a determined player and you’d see it right from his club, and when we summoned him, he was training tirelessly and that’s how you prepare for such a moment.”

“He was a bit nervous at the start but later grew in confidence and I am happy for him,” the Belgian tactician highlighted.

During the World Cup qualifiers, the 68-year-old subbed on Muhammad Shaban and Denis Omedi before the latter assisted the former’s for the Cranes to edge Botswana 1-0 at Namboole in June.
