Yanga's head coach Miguel Gamondi has done a good job so far since he joined the Mainland Tanzania champions at the beginning of the season
Under Gamondi Yanga has not lost a single game the other day successfully taking the people to the group stage of the Champions League after waiting for about 25 years
Yanga has entered the group stage with home and away wins against the tough Al Merrikh team which in the last six seasons secured its place in the groups
It is not surprising to see Al Merrikh coach Osama Nabieh admitting that he has met the best team that has given him a different taste of African football that he is used to
Nabieh gave his opinion after the second leg game played at Azam Complex and Yanga emerged with a 1-0 victory, the victory sent the people to the groups with a 3-0 goal advantage after winning 2-0 in the leg game of first
"Yanga play the best football like big clubs in Europe. They see each other well and attack quickly even if they lose everyone is looking for the ball"
"We have played against big teams in Africa but both matches with Yanga have shown their high quality. I will not be surprised if they are African champions this season," said Nabieh
It is not the first time that people from outside of Tanzania express their opinions about the quality of Yanga, but those opinions here in the country are taken as native
Last season, every time Yanga took a step forward in the Federation Cup, a reason was sought to show that the success they got was not due to their quality but playing with a weak team
Even this season, those statements started to be heard early when they were organized by Asas Fc and even when they played with Al Merrikh, there were those who played the victory, forgetting that Al Merrikh almost every season play in the group stage
This could be a good season for Yanga to show its quality in this Champions League because I believe the people will have a chance to meet the so-called big football teams in Africa
