The former sponsor of Simba, Azim Dewji, has warned the members and fans of the Simba and Yanga teams not to go to the ball with the results in their pockets, as the matches of the derbies are always without him. Dewji has said that it has often happened that the best team loses the match
Speaking in Dar es Salaam, Dewji, who sponsored Simba in the 1990s, and enabled it to do well in various competitions, including winning the Tanzania Mainland Premier League Championship, the Kagame Cup and reaching the final of the African Confederation Cup, CAF, At that time it was called the CAF Cup in 1993, he said with his experience in football matters, especially in the derby matches between Simba and Yanga, the result is determined by only 90 minutes of the game, and not the quality of the team at the time.
He said that it is true that there are times when quality decides the matches, but it has often happened that weak Simba beat the best Yanga and Yanga, which is not well that season, beat Simba who are at a high level
"Dabi does not have itself, the results depend on the ability of the day, how the players will fight, which team the players have woken up well, or the methods of the teachers, you cannot say that Simba will be defeated, the matches of the dabi do not depend on that, it is not looked at which team is better ," said Dewji
Simba and Yanga are expected to meet tomorrow, Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Dar es Salaam, in the Community Shield match, to mark the start of the new Premier League season
Speaking of the two teams, Dewji said they both have good players as they saw them on Simba Day and the peak of Citizen Week, but Simba needs time for its players to get used to each other before becoming a threat
"Yanga and Simba have good players, but Simba need to sit down and understand each other first. For any team to be good, the players must first sit together and get used to each other. Simba has 13 players, all of them are new to the squad, so it will take time for them to settle good," said Dewji
