Simba Head Coach Fadlu Davids has said preparations for the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup (CAF CC) semi-final against Stellenbosch are complete
Speaking at a special press conference ahead of the match to be played on Sunday, April 20 at the New Amaan Complex, Fadlu said they have had a good time preparing in the Zanzibar islands where the team has also had a few days to acclimatize to the weather
He said he realizes the game will be difficult but the team is ready to achieve its goals of winning the game and putting itself in a good position to move forward
"The team is in good shape, we know it will not be an easy match but we are at home and we have the advantage of having fans who I have no doubt will come in large numbers"
"Our team has been getting better day by day, the mistakes we were making from the initial stage, the groups to the quarter-finals have decreased significantly and we are ready for our goals as a team to overcome this stage," he said Fadlu
Speaking on behalf of his teammates heading into the game, defender Che Malone Fondoh said all the players are ready and have no pressure
"We will go in playing the football we are used to, we will not have any pressure but we have planned to ensure we win by many goals at home and that will be possible if fans come in large numbers to support us," he said
So far more than 90 percent of the tickets for the game have already been sold and thus Simba is confident of getting the support of more than 15,000 fans who will enter the New Amaan Complex stadium
