MABADILIKO TAIFA STARS
News
By Gabriel
Nov 3, 2017
Kocha Mkuu wa timu ya Taifa ya Tanzania Taifa Stars, Salum Shabani Mayanga amewaita kikosini viungo Jonas Mkude kutoka Simba na Mudathir Yahya wa Singida United.

Mkude na Mudathir wanachukuwa nafasi za Erasto Nyoni na Muzamiru Yassin wote kutoka Simba ambao awali walijumuishwa kwenye kikosi cha wachezaji 24 walioitwa na Mayanga.

Kocha Mayanga amelazimika kuwaondoa kikosini Nyoni na Muzamiru baada ya taarifa ya ufafanuzi kutoka Shirikisho la Kimataifa la Mpira wa Miguu (FIFA) kuhusiana na kadi nyekundu walizopata wachezaji hao kwenye mchezo wa kirafiki uliopita.

Mchezo uliopita ulikuwa ni dhidi ya timu ya The Flames ya Malawi uliomalizika kwa sare ya kufungana bao 1-1 uliochezwa kwenye Uwanja wa Uhuru, Dar es Salaam.

Kwa mujibu wa FIFA, Nyoni na Muzamiru wataukosa mchezo ujao dhidi ya Benin kutokana na Kanuni za Nidhamu za FIFA ambako kifungu cha 18 (4) kinaelekeza mchezaji mwenye kadi nyekundu kuukosa mchezo unaofuata.

Kwa suala la mechi za kirafiki kifungu cha 38 (2) (g), kinatamka wazi kuwa mchezaji mwenye adhabu ya kadi nyekundu moja kwa moja anaukosa mchezo wa kirafiki unaofuata.

Kwa ufafanuzi huo wa FIFA, Mayanga amewaondoa Nyoni na Muzamiru kikosini ili kutumikia adhabu hiyo kwa mchezo unaofuata wa kirafiki na nafasi zao kujazwa na Mkude na Mudathir.

Wachezaji hao watajiunga kambini na wachezaji wengine walioitwa katika kambi itakayoanza Novemba 5, mwaka huu kujiandaa na mchezo huo wa kirafiki dhidi ya Benin utakaochezwa kwenye tarehe za kwenye kalenda ya FIFA Novemba 12, huko Benin.

Wachezaji wengine wanaounda kikosi hicho kinachodhaminiwa na Bia ya Serengeti ni

Liverpool raced to their second win of the week at the London Stadium with an impressive display against a lacklustre West Ham.
Mohammed Salah opened the scoring for Liverpool, as the away side hit their struggling opponents with a devastating counter attack.
Joel Matip poked home before the break to make it 2-0 with West Ham unable to clear from a low Liverpool corner.
The beginning of the second-half saw West Ham take to the field looking much improved, pulling one back through Manuel Lanzini.
Just as it looked the home side might mount some form of comeback, Liverpool struck again through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain netting his first Premier League goal for the club.
Salah added to his and Liverpool's tally 75 minutes in when the Egyptian fired in a delightful low finish, killing off any hopes of a West Ham revival.

Conte's side are under pressure to deliver on Sunday.Photo: PA
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte believes adversity will reveal the true character of his players.
Conte declined to discuss Nemanja Matic's transfer from Chelsea to Old Trafford, or comment on his relationship with Jose Mourinho, ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Blues boss focused on his own team, who are seeking to respond from Tuesday night's 3-0 Champions League loss at Roma, which saw Conte questioning their "hunger".
"We are struggling a lot, because we are facing a lot of important problems," Conte said.

"To solve these problems is not simple. In this moment you can see if you are a winner or a loser.
"It's important to show our character, to be strong, to face the problem in the right way."
Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-0 and 1-0, in the FA Cup, at Stamford Bridge last season and Mourinho cut a frustrated figure on both occasions.
The Portuguese, who won three Premier League titles in two spells with Chelsea, and Conte have exchanged verbal taunts, but the Italian declined to add to the animosity.
Conte said: "It's not important, the relationship between the coaches. We have to respect the job of the other coaches.

"I have a respect for the job. I stop and finish. He's an opponent and I'm an opponent for him. After the game it will be the same."
Some questioned Chelsea for allowing Matic to swap Chelsea for United in the summer, but Conte said he had addressed the topic before.
There has been regular speculation over Conte's own position, due to the Blues' battle for consistency this term.
Owner Roman Abramovich visited Chelsea's Cobham training ground last Sunday, following the win over Bournemouth, which Conte insisted was not unusual.
This time 12 months ago Chelsea were embarking on a 13-game winning run in the Premier League.
Sorry, this content isn't available on your device.
They have lost three of their first 10 Premier League matches this term, to sit nine points behind leaders Manchester City entering this weekend's fixtures.
Asked how important Sunday's game is for the title race, Conte pointed to the form of Pep Guardiola's side.
"Now there is a big problem for all the teams that want to fight for the title and this big problem is Manchester City," Conte said.
"If they continue in this way it will be very difficult to fight for the title."
N'Golo Kante is "progressing well" following his six-game absence with a hamstring injury and will be given every chance to prove his fitness and start.

Danny Drinkwater, Kante's former Leicester team-mate, could make his first Premier League start for Chelsea in midfield.
Club captain Gary Cahill is to start on the left side of defence, having been substituted early on when starting on the right at Roma.
Conte declined to explain that tactical switch, saying: "Who must understand understands."
Victor Moses (hamstring) is the only definite absentee.
United, and Mourinho, have been criticised for an at times negative tactical approach. Conte refused to discuss the prospect of Mourinho's men "parking the bus".
He added: "I don't care about this. I think only my team, only my players.
"I have to think to try to improve my team and not think of the others

Aguero

A record-breaking goal from Sergio Aguero sent Manchester City into the Champions League knockout stages with a brilliant 4-2 win at Napoli.
Aguero struck in the 69th minute at the imposing San Paolo Stadium to enter the club record books as their leading goalscorer with 178.
It all but settled an absorbing contest in which City had responded to Lorenzo Insigne's early strike with goals from Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones, only to be pegged back again by a Jorginho penalty. Raheem Sterling put the gloss on City's win in the closing moments.
Both sides also hit the woodwork as the leaders of the Premier League and Serie A played out a high-quality game in keeping with their outstanding form.
City's fine performance came after a sluggish start. Napoli fans delivered the intimidating atmosphere manager Maurizio Sarri had requested and City looked heavy-legged.
Stones

Napoli, by contrast, were sharp and produced a number of good attacks in the opening quarter. It came as no surprise when Insigne fired them in front.
Dries Mertens had already tested Ederson twice and Marek Hamsik had also tried his luck from long range.
Hamsik was again involved before Insigne drove forward, played a one-two with Mertens and clipped a neat shot past Ederson.
City seemed unsure of themselves but a break in play for an injury to Faouzi Ghoulam allowed them to regroup.
A lot of Napoli's early success had come down the City right, where Pep Guardiola had fielded Danilo instead of Kyle Walker. David Silva was also surprisingly left out but his midfield replacement Ilkay Gundogan allowed City to gain a foothold.
The tide turned as Aguero and Gundogan both had good efforts deflected off target and the equaliser came when Otamendi met a Gundogan cross with a firm header.
Jorginho

Otamendi might have had another soon after but miskicked in front of goal and Stones hit the bar with a header. Aguero headed another chance wide before Raheem Sterling, claiming a push by Elseid Hysaj, had a penalty appeal rejected.
City carried the momentum into the second half and went ahead when Stones thumped in a header off the bar from a Leroy Sane corner.
Napoli hit back as Insigne hit the woodwork from distance and Sane was adjudged to have fouled Raul Albiol in the box. Jorginho calmly stroked home the spot-kick.
Ederson made a great save from Jose Callejon but City broke from the resulting corner through Sane. He was unable to beat the last defender but Aguero picked up the loose ball and showed great composure to continue the charge and thump a shot into the bottom corner.
It secured Aguero's place in City history but more importantly put his side into a lead they did not relinquish.
With City through to the last 16 for a fifth successive year, Sterling added a fourth in injury time with a crisp low finish.
