Ahead of their NBC Premier League match against Azam FC, Yanga head coach Abdihamid Moalin and his technical bench have the task of ensuring that the mistakes from the previous CRDB Cup semi-final do not repeat in tomorrow’s league encounter.
Two days ago, Yanga lost the semi-final 3-2, with Azam FC scoring all their goals from headed attempts.
Aside from the third goal, which came from a defensive error by centre-back Ibrahim Bacca, the other two goals were a result of poor concentration in defending crosses.
Azam FC have been heavily focused in training on set pieces, including corners and free kicks, indicating that this is likely to be their main attacking weapon in the upcoming match.
Yanga showed clear weakness in dealing with crosses, a problem that has troubled them for some time, although in recent periods they appeared to have improved in that area.
On Wednesday, Azam FC are expected to rely heavily on these situations, meaning Moalin and his players must be fully prepared to deal with them.
