TACTICAL BLUEPRINT AHEAD OF SIMBA AND YANGA #KariakooDerby SIMBA: - Yanga will need to exploit the weakness of Simba in midfield area, as I understand Jonas Mkude will start playing alongside someone. But in defensive situations Mkude is attracted more with the ball.

Simba midfield problems runs from 2020, and it was weakened again in 2021. The big problem is that they sign attacking midfielders instead of a controller, the player who can coach in the pitch, their scouting it has been mess! Really disappointed! #CAFCL

I think FIFA and CAF can't believe AFL first day could have gone better than that, new tournament and Tanzania worked perfectly to give the hype and prepare a world class event!
