Simba defender, Che Fondoh Malone, has said that he and his teammates are ready for today's first round game, the CAF Confederation Cup against Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya
Speaking from the country where the first leg game will be played on June 11, in Tripoli, Che Malone has said that they want to win the game and everything that their team will face in the Confederations Cup matches
"I am ready and even my teammates are ready, for the match against Al Ahly Tripoli, I know it will not be easy"
"It is true that this is not the Champions League, it is the Confederations Cup, but you cannot underestimate because it is often the same teams of the same level that play in both championships every season, we will surprise our opponents, we have come to fight to win ," said Che Malone
Che Malone has said that the mission of each player is to ensure that they fulfill the club's goals where they first need to reach the group stage before starting to think about the next steps
"The goals of the club have been made clear, so what we players do is to work on them, we played a friendly match against Al Hilal of Sudan, a team that often qualifies for the group stage of the African Champions League and sometimes plays in the semi-finals, it was a sufficient measure because some players who had never played in the CAF championship, it was a good chance to see for themselves what things are like," added Che Malone
The game is expected to start at 2:00 pm East African time and the teams will meet again next week in Dar es Salaam
This will be the first international game this season for Simba, as it did not play any match in the previous stage due to having many points in the CAF rankings
