Taifa Stars chief coach Marcio Maximo has expressed his optimism over his team`s performance in future tournaments.
The coach made the remarks yesterday at the opening ceremony of a three-day training camp at Bulyanhulu mine in Kahama district Shinyanga region where the team will stay till Monday.
He told The Guardian on Sunday after the morning training session that, his major work now was to set strategy and carry out training in team work, physical ability and skills.
Maximo described his players as talented but lacking physical strength. “So this is a challenge for the football clubs and players to think of setting up gyms for the players instead of waiting until they join Taifa Stars,“ he advised.
He said 18 players had already reported for training while Shaaban Nditi, Uhuru Selemani and Salum Swed from Mtibwa who are with their club in Kagera will join camp on Monday.
“Henry Joseph is injured and will not join us, but Nadir Haroub `Canavaro` whose wife passed away last week will join us on Monday too,“ he said.
Players who are at the camp include, Farouk Ramadhan, Ivo Mapunda and Amani Simba who are goalkeepers, defenders are, Shadrack Nsajigwa, Juma Jabu, Fredy Mbuna, Nurdin Bakari, Meshack Abel and Kelvin Yondani.
Others are Midfielders Godffrey Bonny, Nizar Khalfan, Jabir, Athumani Idd and Jerry Tegete, Mrisho Ngasa, Adam Kingwande, Mussa Hassan Mgosi and Kigi Makasi all strikers.

I am pleased with the standards of our soccer National team. There is only one thing to do for our coach to believe that Juma Kaseja is the best goalkeeper in tannzania for the time being. The way Marcio Maximo is doing it is believed that There was somthing bad which was done by Juma Kaseja, For whatever the mistake done by Kaseja, the punishment given to him is more than too much.
A suggestion to the coach, Let Maximo be a religious man for a while and forgive this young boy so that the boy can get opportunity to save his Nation through his talent.
Another suggestion to Maximo is that, he is not fit to take part in issues related to legal matters, because he is to mechanical in his behaviors. He can kill all people including his family.
On the other hand Maximo should know that learning is non directional in the sense that, he is limiting himself to learn from Tanzanians because he believe that all Tanzanians do not know any thing conserning Soccer (this is a very wrong perception). MARCIO MAXIMO IS A SELF CENTRED MAN.
I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL END UP WITH A VERY BAD END IN TANZANIA
