Yanga head coach Nasrddine Nabi will be smiling wherever he sees his defender Ibrahim Bacca being showered with praise due to the quality he showed in the last two matches
It is the continuation of Nabi to bring out talents from his team, He is indeed a Professor of football
180 minutes have been enough to introduce Bacca to Tanzanian football and probably officially open his success page
Given the list of 11 players starting the game against US Monastrir, Bacca's name stood out in the defensive line. There are those who questioned Nabi
It was an important match of the CAF Confederation Cup for Yanga to win in order to reach the quarter finals, many did not expect to see Bacca in that game that had a lot of pressure
But history changed after 90 minutes, Yanga emerging with a 2-0 victory with Bacca in the defensive line
After the game, Bacca's name appeared on the list of players of the Tanzanian national team 'Taifa Stars' who will face Uganda in the match to qualify for the Afcon 2023
The other day the first match against Uganda was played in Egypt, for the second time Bacca's name appeared in the defensive line starting alongside his twin Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto while Dickson Job was moved to the right side
It was another great 90 minutes for Bacca, everything he did in the game was right! Bacca is the player who received a lot of praise after 90 minutes of that game
He has been getting a place in Nabi's squad before but he was not taken as seriously as he will be now
