Having watched the tournament on the bench, I have a big hunger to go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe we still have an opportunity to get back to the tournament in the current campaign if we do well in our matches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"694\" src=\"http:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/690.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/690.jpg 690w, https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/690-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/690-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Onyango said he is grateful for receiving a huge bonus before the tournament and revealed that he had helped to transform his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite criticism from some quarters, training in France was a very good idea.
