Simba Assistant Coach Juma Mgunda said that the substitution to replace midfielder Ismail Sawadogo in the 21st minute in the Premier League game against Ihefu Fc was technical
In the game played at Highland Estates Mbarali, Mbeya and Simba emerged with a 2-0 victory, Sawadogo seemed unable to keep up with the speed of the game as Simba overran at the midfield area before he was substituted
Mgunda said Sawadogo is a good player but in that game he did not match the requirements of the match so they decided to substitute him
"Substitutions don't have time and they don't look at the player. What we look at is the formation and the needs of the game itself. It's possible that Sawadogo had a bad day but the technical bench saw that we should rest him and the substitution we made to bring in Nassor Kapama everyone saw the benefit"
em>"I really congratulate all the players for fighting to make sure we win this game. Many players had not been used for a long time but we told them every player who signed with Simba has a chance to play. So they had to show that they deserved to be playing for Simba and I'm glad they did that," said Mgunda
