We have just played 13 matches and the whole season has got 34 games hence all is not lost to our side as far as battling for the title is concerned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also gave kudos to the caretaker coach Bahati Vivier for the one point he got from the tricky away fixture saying Azam have always been deprived maximum points while playing at Karume Stadium in Musoma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a good result for him against a perfect side which played well throughout the normal period of the game. One point is very essential to us even though a win was our priority,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Zakaria named Salum Abubakar \u2018Sureboy\u2019 as another player they want to assess his fitness in the upcoming matches as he also failed to complete the Biashara United game due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Biashara United coach Francis Baraza labelled fatigue as the main setback which prevented them from collecting all three points on the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me applaud my players for giving it all during the match and we had at least five clear chances which could have been converted to goals only if they were sharp at making final attempts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the coach seized the chance to clarify that they face transport problems as they are compelled to use a small vehicle which is not comfortable for the players to make long journeys hence requested well-wishers to help them acquire better transport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: AZAM have suffered another blow in their quest for the Premier League title this season as their top striker Prince Dube has reportedly been ruled out of action for six weeks due to injury.
