Simba head coach Steve Barker says his squad has travelled to Malawi with the determination to make a strong start to their CAF Champions League campaign this season.
Simba left Dar es Salaam early today for Malawi ahead of the first-leg preliminary-round clash against Mighty Wanderers.
Speaking about his team’s preparations, Barker said his players are ready for the competition, while warning that they will not underestimate their opponents because no weak team has qualified for the tournament.
"Mighty Wanderers are a good team. They had a very good season last year, winning the league title. They have quality players individually and are also a good team collectively."
"I know that playing against Simba is a big motivation for them, so we have to prepare with the right tactical approach that will make things difficult for them."
"They have added coach Patrick Mabedi, who was here in Tanzania last season, so it is clear they may have accurate information about Simba. But the important thing is that we will play according to our plan, and I believe we will get a good result," Barker said.
