Last season, Yanga attacking midfielder Stephane Aziz Ki put his name in the history of Tanzanian football for what he did for Yanga
Best scorer, midfielder and best player of the season are the awards he left with at the end of the season
It was not an easy task for the leadership of Yanga to keep Aziz Ki who received many offers from inside and outside Africa
This season has not been good for him compared to what he did last season
Those who do not wish him well have found an opportunity to attack him with all kinds of words, others going further to enter his personal life outside of football
What they don't know is that every player goes through difficult times. The Europeans have a saying that says 'form is temporary but class is permanent', meaning the best player can go through short periods of challenges that end
In this season Aziz Ki has been involved in four goals, scoring one and providing three assists
Not a good figure compared to what he did last season after 10 games but not a bad figure considering the competition this season
Feisal Salum and Jean Ahoua are the only players who have more assists than Aziz Ki with four while he has three
Early before the start of the season, Aziz Ki made it clear that he has no plans to compete for the best goal scorer award since Yanga now has the best strikers who he believes will do the job of scoring while he focuses on creating opportunities. It has also been unfortunate that the attackers have not been as effective as expected
Sometimes these smear campaigns against Aziz Ki are done strategically to ensure that he does not find stability in his duties
