Simba SC assistant captain Mohamed Hussein has explained why he feels the Mainland Premier League games are tougher than Caf Champions League engagements.
Simba will host Mtibwa Sugar at the Benjamin Mkapab Stadium on Wednesday for a league tie and Hussein has drawn comparisons between the local games and the ones in the Champions League where they have managed to reach the knockout stage.
"It is not that we are always tired when we play local rivals, we happen to get good results in international games because the rivals sometimes do not know us as much as a local rival would," Hussein told Azam TV.
