Simba head coach Robertinho Oliveira has congratulated his players for successfully reaching the group stage of the CAF Champions League despite being forced to draw 1-1 against Power Dynamos in the second leg game played at Azam Complex yesterday
>Robertinho said it was not an easy game for them but they played with goals that they managed to achieve
In addition, Robertinho has congratulated the coaches he works with on the technical bench for this success while noting that it is a good record for him that he has also made in another club (Uganda - Vipers, Rwanda - APR) to play in the group stage of the African Championship
"I congratulate my players for successfully reaching the group stage, it was not easy because we met an opponent who was also strong"
"In the first half we made mistakes that our opponents used and scored, I needed to make changes in the second half by bringing in Bocco and to a large extent we succeeded"
"I congratulate my colleagues in the technical bench, it is not easy to play nine matches without losing, this is a great record. Personally, I have achieved such success even when I was in Uganda and Rwanda"
"I am glad we have moved forward because now everyone is talking about the success of Tanzanian football because of Simba" said Robertinho
However, it is clear that Robertinho will need to improve his squad as soon as possible before the AFL as it is clear that the Coders are not happy with the way the team is playing despite getting good results
Yesterday's game was one of those matches that surely the Coders have every reason to complain because the team did not play well
Perhaps if it wasn't for the experience of the Simba players in this championship, things could have been different
Honorary President of Simba Billionaire Mohammed Dewji 'Mo' is among those who made it clear that he was not happy with what he witnessed
