Simba goalkeeper Aishi Manula has said that despite not getting a chance to play in the first team, he cooperates well with his colleagues to ensure the team achieves its goals of winning the championship this season
Yesterday Aishi led the Tanzanian national team 'Taifa Stars' for local players in the match to qualify for the CHAN 2025 finals, Tanzania losing on penalty kicks 6-5 after a 1-1 draw (aggregate)
p>Aishi has said that he is happy to be part of the Simba squad this season despite not being seen frequently on the field
"I've been training in Simba under the best coaches, so even if I'm not playing I've been in good shape and fitness that's why I got the chance to serve the national team"
"I cooperate well with my teammates even if I am not seen on the field playing, as a team we have one goal, it doesn't matter who starts but our mission is to see that we achieve the goal of winning the championship"
"I'm glad I got the chance to show what I have to the national team, I will continue to fight because I believe the time will come and I will play," said Manula
This season Manula had the chance to play one friendly match against Al Hilal which ended in a 1-1 draw
It has not been easy for him to break into the first team in front of Moussa Camara, Ali Salim and even Ayoub Lakred who has started training after being out for several months suffering from injuries
Manula's contract ends at the end of the season, it is very likely that Simba will not extend another contract
