All four, including the fourth envoy, Biashara United, who are events debutants, must fight hard to overcome their first hurdles and grab tickets for the higher stages of the both tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Two things are likely to work for our envoys, but only if they fire on all their cylinders and stop any leakage in their defence. Our envoys must not underrate their opponents by thinking of Biashara Mara\u2019s opponents, FC Dikhil of Djibouti or Azam\u2019s opponents, Horseed of Somalia or Rivers of Nigeria as pushovers.<\/p>\n<p>We warn our envoys to concentrate on training and take ample time to learn their opponents\u2019 weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>All the missions against Nigerians, South Sudanese or Somalians are assailable regardless the levels of the football in those countries. We insist our team to work hard and win since it pays well for the country, the clubs and players who are engaged in the tough mission since we have honoured to have two teams whose players are well drilled.<\/p>\n<p>But to achieve that we urge them to work extremely hard to go through the next round given the kind of opponents they have who are certainly no pushovers.<\/p>\n<p>Any team that is capable of playing at a very high pace for more than the regulation time is capable of winning matches both at home and away from home. While we insist on commitment, appropriate use of skills and fighting spirit as vital tools to success, we wish our envoys best luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
