Simba Club has said that the number of new players it registered this season is more than the number of new players registered in one lump sum for the past nine years, saying what it did was a revolution to start anew, with a new generation squad
Speaking from Ismailia in Egypt where they have set up camp for the new competition season, the coordinator of the team, Abbas Ally, said even he had never seen Simba sign up so many new players in one go, so it shows that the leaders of the club, including Investor, Honorary President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mohamed 'Mo' Dewji, are determined to build a brand new team
"This registration means a lot in the Simba squad because since 2015, there have never been major changes in the squad like this year"
"I've been here since 2015, I've never seen anything like this, so this is a revolution and this is a new beginning"
"People want to see their Simba that they are used to, the one that has a lot of possession of the ball, owns the game to a large extent and gives a difficult time to the opponents and that has been doing well in every game, including getting all the trophies that are in front of them," said Abbas
He said that for the past three years, members and fans of the club were not happy due to their team not being at the best level and not getting results, so it has pushed the leaders to make such changes
He expressed the concern of some fans who feel that the presence of many players will delay the integration of players
"You know the results of three seasons have really broken people's hearts, we tried to build the squad, but the team was not playing well and the results were not good, that is why they are afraid of the number of registered players if they can join in a short time, they are right, but I think while we are winning all our games, they will forget," said the organizer
He said he does not believe that they will take a long time due to the competence of the existing technical bench and the young age of the players who are easy to follow instructions
"If you look at the mix of players we have, they are young, they are young, they are quick to follow instructions, they are a new generation team, I believe that after just a month, the type of technical bench we have and the type of players we have, we would be with a very good team and people will believe that in football everything is possible even in a short time," he said
