Simba SC head coach Steve Barker has expressed concerns about the condition of Major General Isamuhyo Stadium, stressing the importance of ensuring that the venue meets the required standards to provide the team with the best possible environment to perform.
Barker said the quality of the pitch is an important part of the team’s preparations and affects how players are able to execute their style of football during matches.
According to the coach, the condition of the pitch can have an impact on the pace of the game, passing quality and execution of tactical plans, making it important for the condition of the stadium to be given priority.
He said Simba needs to have good playing conditions, particularly given the ambitious targets the club has set for itself this season.
Barker believes that having a high-quality pitch will allow players to perform to their full potential and make it easier for them to implement the instructions given by the technical staff.
His comments come as Simba continues to use Major General Isamuhyo Stadium as one of its venues for preparations and home matches, with the quality of the infrastructure remaining one of the issues being closely monitored by the coaching staff.
Attention is now focused on how the stadium will be improved and whether it can be maintained at a standard that meets Simba’s needs as well as the demands of top-level competition.
