Chambua dismisses 'misplaced' Samatta criticism

The retired footballer claims a player should not be judged from one game where he performs poorly since having a bad day in the office is common

Former Tanzania international player Sekilojo Chambua has dismissed a section of fans who have criticised Mbwana Samatta for lacklustre performances with the national team.

The KRC Genk forward was part of the team which played against Equatorial Guinea and Libya in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers where the Taifa Stars won 2-1 against the former and lost against the latter by the same score.

Captain Samatta was on the scoresheet against Libya but a section of Tanzanian fans found fault with his performances for the national team, which Chambua feels are unwarranted.
