May 12, 2021 - 03:25 pm By Staff Reporter Kaizer Chiefs' CAF Champions League opponents Simba SC of Tanzania landed in South Africa on Tuesday ahead of their quarter-final meeting on Saturday. Simba have chosen not to take any chances and have decided to arrive early to acclimatise to the conditions to the wintry conditions in Johannesburg.  They held their first training session in Johannesburg last night as they sought to adjust to the weather conditions that they will play under in Saturday’s evening kick-off (18h00) of the first leg tie of the first ever meeting betwee...

Ahead of their first-leg meeting against the South African club at FNB Stadium on Saturday, Bocco has revealed Simba deserved to qualify because of their determination and the targets they had set for the season. “I have a strong belief we did not reach the quarter-finals by luck but we reached the stage because of the hard work we did and because of our determination to do well in the competition,” Bocco told Goal before the team boarded the plane for Johannesburg. “When the season kicked off, the club had set their targets and for us is to make sure we reach those targets and we kno...

Simba coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa has acknowledged they have been given a tough draw but insisted their target is to win all the trophies on offer this season. “If we want to win the FA Cup then we would say Dodoma is a good draw but until now we have to fight against Dodoma, firstly it is a tough team and even if we won against them two times this season, I know they are a tough team and it is not easy to win against Dodoma,” Gomes told Simba Online TV. “If we qualify we play against Azam, a very good team and you can see their last performance against Yanga they won 1-0, it is a tough ...

Abdallah Shiabu [of Yanga] is improving and he can stop Simba during the game regardless of their attacking power.” On his part, former Yanga striker Morris said that although Simba boast good midfielders, their slowness at the back could be exploited by Yanga on Saturday. Clatous Chama, Larry Bwalya, Bernard Morrison and Luis Miquissone have been the preferred men for Simba in the midfield while Serge Wawa and Joash Onyango have been regularly paired at the back. “Simba have got good midfielders ...

‘Kwani Wao Wanasemaje?’ (what is the other side saying) is the current line of online engagement between the red zone (read Simba fans) and the green zone (the Yanga SC support base).  The derby carries a lot of stakes with it given that a win will help Simba widen the gap at the top and a victory for the Jangwani club will be a huge step towards reclaiming the top spot as they hope to win the league title they last lifted three seasons ago. Timu ya Wananchi must be on top of their game to contain a Simba side that is yet to be defeated in six local engagements.
