We are now waiting for more details from them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFootball is all about preparations and we are using this period to start preparing for September matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, early in June, we will have at least a ten-day camp, since we need to train a lot plus playing international friendly matches,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cWith collaboration from the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), we also want to arrange friendly games in the first round of the preparations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that, in mid-August when the Mainland Premier League season will be off, we will recall players for the second phase of preparations with much emphasis being on how to attack, defend and build the team,\u201d Poulsen said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that their plan is to play at least two strong friendly matches in August to keep his squad fit before the commencement of the qualifiers in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith ample training, we can change many things in the team. We have a good chance now such that when the top flight league season will be concluded, we will use that period for preparations. \u201cI believe that we will be much better than now.<\/p>\n<p>It is good to use time wisely for training and preparing the squad.
