Simba SC defensive midfielder Mzamiru Yassin has revealed their plans as they prepare to take on CS Constantine in their second group match of the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.
The Wekundu wa Msimbazi will face the Algerian side at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine, Algeria. Speaking ahead of the game, Yassin expressed Simba’s confidence of getting a win despite playing away.
“We are in intense training because we understand the task ahead. This is not an easy match, as some might think. Our opponents have already proven their strength by winning away against a strong team like CS Sfaxien, who are historically dominant in this competition,” Yassin said as quoted by the Guardian.
“We know they will be aiming for another win to boost their chances of qualifying for the quarter final However, we are determined to disrupt their plans. Our mission is to return home with three points, or at least one.”
He added: “Our technical bench is doing an exceptional job. This is one of the best setups we’ve had in recent years, and it gives us confidence that we can reach the quarter-finals. However, achieving that requires hard work and focus.
“We believe in our ability to advance, but belief alone is not enough. It’s about putting in the effort on the pitch, and that’s what we intend to do.”
Simba started their campaign with a 1-0 victory against Angola’s Bravo do Maquis in Dar es Salaam while Constantine registered a win against CS Sfaxien.
