Samatta committed and ready to improve Tanzania displays

The Belgium-based striker responded to fans who feel he is not giving 100 percent when turning out for the Taifa Stars

Tanzanian captain Mbwana Samatta has expressed his desire to help the Taifa Stars achieve great heights.

Samatta, who features for Belgium’s top division side KRC Genk, has been in the spotlight for his performance in national team colours recently, with some fans saying he is producing below-par displays.

Shortly after the Taifa Stars lost 2-1 to Libya in their second Group J clash of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet Stadium in Monastir, Tunisia on Tuesday night, several football fans took to social media to criticise Samatta for his performance despite scoring.
