Former Simba player and coach, Talib Hilal, has given strategies that can make the team emerge victorious in the Confederation Cup quarter-final match against Al Masry, expected to be played tomorrow, at 7:00 pm at the New Suez Stadium, in Egypt
Speaking from Oman, where he currently lives, Talib, who played for Simba in the late 1980s to early 1990s, has advised Simba Head Coach, Fadlu Davids, to start with his best team in the game
Talib, who contributed significantly to Simba's victory over Zamalek of Egypt in the African Champions League in 2003, when he was appointed as one of the coaching staff that contributed to the team's qualification to the group stage that year, also urged the team's defenders not to have too many things when they are in the danger zone
"In attack, I think Ateba is suitable up front because his partnership and the attacking midfielders have been good in recent days, and I don't think he will change his squad, I believe he will plan what he is planning"
"Mpanzu should try to use his speed and ability to drag the ball, but he should reduce things that are not beneficial especially away from home where the team needs results or goals more than anything else, he should not stay too long with the ball, people cannot leave you, but he is a good player who can contribute to Simba's victory"
