Let us score more goals, says Yanga ace Ambani

Yanga`s Boniface Ambani has urged his teammates to score as many goals as possible when ever they get chances to do so in the ongoing Vodacom Premier League.

The Kenyan striker said over the weekend that scoring many goals would be the only way to make his team be in a safer side of retaining the title. “If we have many goals none of the teams will overcome us.

We may tie on points but if we have few goals our opponents may be above us simply because of a goal difference rule. It is the right time we score more goals to avoid that,“ Ambani said.

The striker currently leads the scoreboard on eight goals from five matches which his team has so far played.
Ambani scored three goals out of five in the last team`s match against newly promoted Villa Squad on Sunday.

He is followed by his teammate-cum-countrymate Ben Mwalala who has four goals.

Players who are in the third position with two goals each are Nigerians Emeh Izuchukwu and Orji Obinna, Mussa Hassan Mgosi (all from Simba), Selemani Rajabu (Moro United), Saidi Dilunga (Toto Africans), Bakari Kondo (JKT Ruvu) and Themi Buhaja (Kagera Sugar).

Yanga top the 12-team league with 15 points. Second placed Kagera Sugar were yesterday expected to play JKT Ruvu at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
