Simba arrived in Mbeya yesterday ready for the premier league game against Tanzania Prisons which will be played on Thursday October 05 at Sokoine Stadium
While the team is in Mbeya in search of three important points, Simba Head Coach Robertinho Oliveira has set a strategy to strengthen his team in areas where he has identified shortcomings
Robertinho has admitted that his players have lost quality and discipline when they don't have the ball, as they have shown in their two CAF Champions League matches against Power Dynamos of Zambia, both of which drew.
Robertinho is displeased with the type of goals they have allowed against the Zambians, saying they were easy goals that resulted from some players not performing their role properly
"You can look at the goal we allowed here against Dynamos, you can't allow someone to make decisions like that when you are many behind like we did, this is an unacceptable problem, we will work on it but we will not be able to give the player a chance to play if he does not want to change"
"Before looking at the last mistake by the goalkeeper, but we have to look at how disciplined the others were before the ball was hit and when the goalkeeper is looking for a chance, this is something that we will work on very quickly"
"In the future, I want to see that we use opportunities to score, a problem that we have also had, but we cannot score if we fail to play with the discipline of the position, people see that we made a mistake in bringing in John Bocco, for me, I will use Bocco, look at how he came in, we needed discipline like his to stay inside the opponent's danger zone for a long time""He had two opportunities and he used one to create a goal but before we were increasing our attacks but we were not staying in the right places to complete our attacks," said Robertinho
