Almost everyone in Tanzania supports either Simba or Yanga. The meeting between these 2 teams brings millions of Tanzanian shillings as entrance fees.

The turn up of supporters is normally higher than any other tie in Tanzania. although Yanga has already taken the cup, it wont take the match so lightly.

The midfield of Yanga consists of such players like Athuman Idd, Haruna Niyonzima, Nizar Khalfan, Rehani Kibindu, Omega Seme and Frank Domayo.

He is nicknamed Fabregas, because of his accurate passes.
In a single game Niyonzima can create an average of 150 - 180 passes.

In this season Yanga won all its matches except the match against Kagera sugar where they lost by a goal to nil, and a match against Mtibwa Sugar where Yanga lost by 3-0.
Nonda Shaaban played for Yanga before he went in South Africa, and then to Monaco in France.
A lot of views and comments from different supporters reveal that the tie between Simba and Yanga is always covered with over-expectations from both players and supporters. These extraordinary expectations have brought out unpleasant game to be observed by the fans on the pitch. Fans wants to see good skills, wonderful football and other things which will satisfy them. sometimes it is so hard to fulfil the wants of football fans. Whatever the case, people wants to see good game. When they have bought the tickets, they expect a reward in terms of skilled and entertaining football.

I think Athumani Iddi could get a ateam to play outside Tanzania. Soccer agents can try to find a team in Europe for this midfield player. The problem of chasing away foreign coaches every season or whenever the team under-perform is a very bad disease to Tanzania football.
ReplyDeleteThe consistency of Said Bahanuzi has been questionable. Since the time he starred in Kagame cup in 2012, no scoring records have been produced by the striker. I think that is the reason Yanga FC wants to sell him on loan, so that he can improve his skills.
