Tanzania's line-up motivates Uganda Cranes

Uganda Cranes tactician Milutin ‘Micho’
Sredojevic expects Tanzania to assemble nearly
the same team that played against Morocco in
the World Cup Qualifier last month.
The two sides meet in a CHAN qualifier in Dar
es Salaam on Saturday.
But not one to chicken out in the face of stiff
competition, Micho has instead welcomed
Tanzania’s strength as a source of motivation
for his side.
“I respect the Tanzania coach (Kim Poulsen)
and the team they are building. They will have
nine of the 11 players who played in their
World Cup Qualifier and we have only two who
featured in the Angola game. This kind of
situation is a motivation for my boys who want
to challenge Tanzania and prove a point. We
can get a result in Tanzania,” Micho said.
Micho said that playing in the World Cup
qualifier with nearly the same players gives
Tanzania advantage of match fitness.
TP Mazembe’s Mbawana Samata and Thomas
Ulimwengu are the only Tanzanian players who
will not play in the CHAN tournament which is
meant for home based players in Africa. The
Cranes team fielded only midfielder Hassan
Wasswa and right back Denis Iguma in the
World Cup qualifier against Angola.
