I have a wife as such, no need for me to go outside searching for women. These are the things which I avoid to remain focus on my football career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Tambwe gave kudos to Simba for amicably entering into transformation in their running of the club, saying that is what the modern football requires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard that even Yanga are considering following the same channel, which is a good thing because they will be able to buy any player they will want due to the financial muscle they will have,\u201d said him.<\/p>\n<p>In the same token, the Burundian striker recalled the traditional derby match between Yanga and Simba in which he allegedly scored using his hand as one of the matches he will never forget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people think that I scored using my hand but that was not the case. I never handled that ball. \u201cI used to approach such games (Simba vs Yanga) in a unique way to show that I was still better even if the other side (former employer) let me go to join the opposite team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Yanga midfielder Feisal Salum said his ambition is to play outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really want to play professional football outside the country that is the dream I have had for a longtime and I know that one day, I will accomplish that. \u201cWhen a player shifts from one league to another, his form usually improves. During the time when I was playing in Zanzibar, only few people knew me but since coming here (Mainland Premier League), I have extended my wings to be seen by many people on the continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>About his deal of going to play in Egypt which collapsed, Feisal said he was not personally consulted by the Egyptian team, which wanted him but rather they talked with Yanga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news\">\n<div class=\"item\">\n<div class=\"item-image-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: FORMER Young Africans and Simba SC striker, Amis Tambwe refuted claims that he is planning to hang up his boots, saying he has more years to play active football.
