Simba Sc head coach Pablo Franco has said that despite the illness, they will return strong to defend the title for the fifth consecutive season
Simba Sc, who hold the Premier League title for four consecutive seasons, are second in the league with 18 points from eight matches so far
Pablo, a Spanish national, said he have no reason to put pressure on his players for five-point gap left by their rivals Yanga while the league still in early stage
"Health is the key to good results so I can't put pressure on my players because of being five points behind, I believe my youngsters will work hard and by the end of the season we will be champions as we intended," said Franco.
The coach, who has not lost a single Premier League game since joining the Champions two months ago, said the league is like marathon so even if his team were in the lead he would still not cerebrate because the journey is still long.
Pablo said he agrees that Yanga are a good team and they are leading the league but that is not the reason that they will be the champions this season, because the league is very competitive but even the number of points from one team to another is small
