Simba Sc head coach Pablo Franco has urged fans of the national champions to forget the result of the previous match as they are ready to give them happiness with a win against Mtibwa Sugar
Franco also said no player deserves to be blamed after losing a game against Mbeya City, they all fought to make sure the team did well
"We were not beaten because the players did not commit, no, if you watched the game you will understand what I am saying"
"We lost the game for some reason, we did not get enough rest after participating in the Mapinduzi Cup. I also think the stadium was not friendly enough to play our game. Our opponent al was prepared so luck was on their side"
Captain John Bocco was among the players who has been heavily criticized after the game
Pablo said he has as much confidence in the striker as he has in all the players in the squad
"It just so happens that a player can sometimes not be at his best, not to say he is bad, it's just the way the game has its competition"
"You also find the player really planning to make sure he does what he expects but if he gets stuck, it hurts even himself"
"Bocco is a good player and that's why he is the captain and I know how he feels from what he did last season but so far he has not done that"
