Towards the quarter-final rematch of the Confederations Cup against Orlando Pirates of South Africa, Simba will play with caution and respect for their opponents, with only one goal to qualify for the semi-final stage
Simba entered the camp yesterday ready for the rematch to be played on Sunday this week in South Africa, needing any draw or any victory to reach the semi-finals
Simba head coach Pablo Franco said he believes the team will play in the semi-finals, especially if the players are committed and careful in the rematch.
He said it will be a tough and highly competitive match because they need to defend, but also if possible looking for an early goal while the Orlando Pirates also needing more than 1-0 win.
"The result we got at home is a huge advantage for us in the rematch, we have to go and respect our opponent and play with great care to achieve our goals of playing in the semi-finals," said Pablo
Simba's assistant captain, Mohammed Hussein 'Zimbwe Jr', said the victory at home would not make them complacent and that they would make sure they went to play with the highest discipline.
He said Orlando played respectfully and spent a lot of time defending to make sure they didn't concede too many goals something they have to do in South Africa
"We know Orlando being at home will not play like they did here, they respected us and we are going to do the same by playing with high level discipline to fulfill every player's dream of seeing the team qualify to the semi-finals," he said
