Today is today...today is dusty and sweaty...! That's what the Citizens will be singing on the stage this evening when they face Rivers United in the second leg game of the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup
Yanga will go into the game that will be played from 7pm with a 2-0 goal advantage they won in the first leg game played in UYO, Nigeria
The role of the Yanga players is only one, to seek victory that will guarantee them to reach the semi-finals of the tournament and set a record for Tanzanian clubs in the CAF competition
Since the Champions League and Confederations Cup were established by CAF, no Tanzanian team has ever reached the semi-finals
Rivers United are in the country since Friday and yesterday they completed their training at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium
There are dramas they are doing to try to disturb Yanga from the game last night raising information that their bus was broken into and sprayed with drugs as well as money was stolen while they were doing their last training
In the beginning , they said they don't have money so they will be late coming to the country, but today they say they have been robbed of the money they left on the bus while going to training...!
Of course they are aware that their chance to beat Yanga is small, they are trying to create an environment so that when they are beaten it seems there was a reason
However, coach Nasreddine Nabi's squad should not listen to these antics of their opponents, they know they will have a difficult 90 minutes at Benjamin Mkapa's stadium today
They will need to fight to ensure they get a win that will take them to the semi-finals
