The heat of the traditional rival match is increasing, while Yanga enters Avic Town camp today to prepare for the game, their rival Simba have gone to Zanzibar
Earlier today in social media there was a rumor claiming to be interviewed by the PCCB for a man who allegedly tried to convince some Yanga players with money to play below the standard on April 20
This is a sign that the April 20 match will be a complete football battle within 90 minutes of the game that will be played at Benjamin Mkapa stadium
As Simba set up camp in Zanzibar, Yanga has no plans to leave Avic Town, preparations will be made there
Nowadays, Yanga has abandoned the old tradition that preparations for the match against Simba must take place outside the city of Dar es Salaam
The sure thing is that the management of Yanga will increase security at Avic Town to ensure that the players and the technical bench get stability in the preparation of the game
Yanga Information and Communication Manager Ali Kamwe has emphasized that they are preparing while respecting the Simba despite beating them 5-1 in the first round game
Kamwe said that they believe Simba has the best and most experienced players who have played in many derby matches. They know that the team has serious leaders who know how to win matches of this type
"We cannot sit here and say that we are going to score 20 goals against Simba, that is not possible because Simba is not that weak. We are preparing with the goal of winning and we ask our fans to understand that the match will be difficult and we must fight to win"< /em>
"Don't fall into the trap of believing that the game is already over, Yanga have won. I think many of us have not forgotten what happened in last season's match"
"Fans should buy tickets in large numbers and let us fill Benjamin Mkapa stadium. I believe that with our large number it will be a good motivation for the team to fight and emerge victorious in the game," he said
