You don't need to motivate players too much for this game. It's a big one,
"Everyone is prepared, the mood is good. It's always motivating by itself. You don't need to motivate players too much for this game. It's a big one, not only in Kenya but in Africa as well. So, for me, it's the first time. Therefore, it's about tactical, physical, and mental preparation," Trucha said during an interview.
Trucha added that the Derby has no clear favorite, and the winner is never known until the final whistle. He is also looking forward to seeing the fan base from both teams.
"The Derby never has a favorite team. There are no underdogs or favorites. Come in numbers. I believe they will come and fill the stadium. I also expect the opponent's fans to come, so I anticipate a nice crowd," he added.
Last weekend, Gor emerged victorious with back-to-back wins, defeating Nzoia Sugar 3-1, while AFC Leopards won 1-0 against Post Rangers at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos
