This made us concede a very soft goal which came from nowhere,\u201d said him.<\/p>\n<p>He added that in the second half, he opted to introduce the second striker to suit the philosophy of Tanzania football even though he knows that it is not working well widely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, Liverpool and Manchester City usually play with one striker with the wingers coming in to provide the striking backup,\u201d he said. However, the Belgian coach complained about what he said bad gesture from the referee who refused to give him a handshake after he was shown the yellow card.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter he shown the yellow card to me, I wanted to give him a hand but he refused. Why did he do that or was it because I am white? Do you have the problem with white people? That is too bad\u2026I am very upset,\u201d the coach said furiously.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Azam midfielder Salum Abubakar said the secret behind their recent good results in the league is a working chemistry pumped in the team by Aristica Cioaba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, the coach joined us midway in the league that is why in our past matches, we were not producing tangible results in comparison with now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YOUNG Africans Head Coach Luc Eymael said he is thinking about his future after a 1-0 defeat from Azam FC at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam over the weekend.
