 Players allow on the salaries which is accrued and players down to their tools. They refuse to come to you this morning to train ahead of the clash tomorrow. And he says, of course going by our records on phone, he says that they are working to ensure that they pay the players latest by phone. Patu, this is a very, very bad time for the mayor to say that the players are actually not going to train. And considering that, you have made it one of Africa's premier competitions. It is part of what we have been having in African football. And we have been fighting that for a long time. That when you expect a team to perform in a tournament or at a stage where you require them to be there, you find that some of these things are coming in. For the country, that one has been sorted with the FIFA requirements, but with the clubs we still have that problem. But I think for Kogalo, at this stage they need to sit down and see the way forward. Though they are talking of three months, four months, they were paid yesterday part of it, I think they can put that aside, deal with Barkana tomorrow, then thereafter they can come and have sorted it out. Just like what my friend has said Maxwell about them sorting it out by 4pm, it's not good for publicity, it's not good for even their competitors. Because Barkana know that there is animosity within the team, they know that tomorrow they are coming here to get a win. And the moment you get an away win in African football, you are into the next stage. Mentally, what will this do to Goldmire? Because the state of mind, you look at Barkana of Morocco, they will look at Goldmire and say, this is a team that is not going to pay their players. We can go there and actually push them to the limits and get this win for Goldmire, their state of mind. Will it be good for that game tomorrow? I may say it might be good or it might not be. One is that sometimes when you are facing teams that are going through termo in terms of financial payments, they might get paid today and it motivates them tomorrow and win tomorrow's match or they might not be able to be motivated to win tomorrow's match. And again, let's look at the away record of Barkana. Barkana are not performing well away. So that is a plus for Goldmire. So if they can be able to crack it today, get the payments or even part of what they are required to be paid, the players, then tomorrow they can be able to show and give us a good play. And considering this is coming in the backdrop of several predicaments affecting the team. As we speak right now, Goldmire are going into this particular clash tomorrow evening without in the absence of their five influential players led by captain Aaron Shakava, goalkeeper Bonfa Solwaj, Shafik Batambuza, one of the influential left-backs alongside Ernest Wendor. All of them will be missing tomorrow's tie and that is why coaches and Okte, the tactician for Gorma football club, has been using them in their KPL fixtures and they have played like three games in the last seven days playing against Sony Shuka during midweek, beating them by three, two, playing against Vika United, playing against Kameko Umboi. So it's also an issue that might affect the team, fix a condition and absence of the influential players ahead of the clash tomorrow. Well, that one might now be a very tough one for Goldmire because this is a very tough hill to climb for Goldmire. How do you rate it? There are players who have got them into the quarterfinals. Five of them will not be there. The other players who will be coming, the likes of Sasi Doke, will be making onto this squad. Will they be good enough against the Moroccan side? That again, I want to sit on the fence because I'm looking at two things. Goldmire is one of the teams in Kenyan football or East Africa, is one of the teams that's very organized, tactically organized and they can bring in any player that has been signed by the same club to perform at that level. The other things that the fixture congestion is something that we've been talking about. But again, look at the African football. If you want to make it this confederation cup, if you want to make it to the Champions League up to the knockout stage, you need to have so many matches being played. And for me, I think this is a positive for Kogalo. They have matches three to four days. That gives them the momentum, also gives them the drive to go and perform better. And also in terms of training, the only bad part is that today they don't have enough of training, which is also a good requirement for the tomorrow's match. That might affect them. But in terms of the matches, two or three days, I think that's good for the team. And considering that Goldmire football club has a pool of several players, maybe tactician Nasa Nocte might decide to use that makeshift kind of formation. We've seen it working overseas in recogonized and high profile leagues like at Manchester City. Pep Guardula is using makeshift kind of fielding players. So maybe in absence of the players who are out suspended and those who are out injured, the coach is likely to field other unfamiliar players who are not known to the open names, Arez Berkan and that might work in their favor. Well, it's a big one for Goldmire there. And tomorrow at 4pm they will be playing. 7pm. 7pm at Kasarani stadium. We'll pick Goldmire versus Arez Berkan. And let's see how they are going to do that. It's not the only quarterfinal fixture in the calf confederation scarp that is happening. There are actually other matches there. We got in Ghana from Zambia, who will be playing CXFoxen, a 12 du Sahel versus El Hilal and then Hassan Agder versus Zamalek of Egypt. A big one there in the confederation scarp. Now let's move ahead in the calf champions league where we have got also other big matches that will be happening there. And from East Africa, Simba Sports Club in Tanzania will be welcoming Africa's big boys, Tipe Mazem. And also Robert, just before you get to calf champions league, which I know Patrick Muleka is passionate about and he would like to comprehensively share his views with regards to the same. Kenyan players will be showcasing their prowess tomorrow because as you've said, Aliankana FC playing, who in calf confederation scarp CXFoxen team that also faced Gormayankana is proud to be having players, two Kenyan players, Duncan Otieno and former Gormaya captain Musa Muhammad and all of them will be trying to showcase their football talent at the continental level the same way Goro will be doing. So big plus for Kenyan players ahead of the African Cup of Nations and that will go a long way in shaping them. It won't be a big miss for Jesse Ware and Antonia Kumu. But again, it will be a big miss but they should not be unhappy because remember in that group it was either Zesco or Nkana and they did good for their brother. They said let's Nkana go through because if they were to be beaten in the last match then with a bigger margin then it will be like Nkana and Zesco out but they made sure that their big brother is there. That is Nkana. So at least we have some two representatives of Kenyan there though Zesco also had Kenyan representatives. We actually have been making so Zimba versus Tipi Mazembe now that one is one big clash that will be happening in Tanzania. Where is your money? My money I think again this time around I will go for Zimba. It's because Zimba has made a home ground to be a fortress and they've made sure that all the matches they are one at home and I think that is the philosophy in African football make sure you win your home matches go away and look for a draw and I think Tipi Mazembe is a big name in African football they've gone up to club championship remember they've done club work up they've done well but in Dar eslam look at what they've been doing you go there you get Hamman so I'm expecting Zimba to do good at their home ground but when they go to kinshasa things might be something else. There is a fan who is a PR officer for Zimba sports club Maxwell What about Zimba? The way it brings the crowd for Zimba the way it rallies the crowd for Zimba it's even better than our own former prime minister Helo Ding the white man from Zimba I think Zanian is starting to get personal about football you remember during the African cup of nations qualifier do or die tie against Uganda cranes they were supposed to win in order to qualify for African cup of nations in Egypt which they did demolishing their opponents and neighbors by 3 nil Pere Liquid Hamman who's been making headlines of late was behind trying to push and advocate for the crowds turning up and feeling the stadium in rafters and it did work in their favor so I would agree with Patrick Muleka that playing Tanzanians away you remember when they playing ahili they got beaten I think 5 nil away but during the return they caused an upset pulled a surprise which everyone didn't expect beating them think one nil and medical gear was on the score sheet so against tipimazembe it's a team that is recognized globally they have also played super cup meeting everywhere it's like Barcelona, Real Madrid and therefore Inanchor Muscles is another thing they will scare you with that but Simba I will give them an edge playing at home maybe during return leg it will be a reverse demolition outcome Patrick taking away from this conversation yesterday I was reading the business daily and one of the fastest growing economies is the East African region with 7% going up and Charles Onyangobo was arguing that by 2040 East Africa will be a very big influence in Africa because of the way globalization is going do you think our clubs will be also be that good considering this wave that we have right now Kenyans are behind Gorma and no matter what we have to fill the stadium tomorrow in Tanzania it is the same thing in Uganda if they had a team like Viper or Express playing in the Champions League or in the Confederations Cup 100% sure na mbole could be full do you think by 24th we will be like I don't care about the EPL now it's all about me and my Shabana FC it might be unfortunately in East Africa we still having a problem with transmission we still have that it has to be sorted out because again we need to regionalize our transmission to ensure that we cater for the local audience going forward I think it has been shown for the African Cup of Nations this year that East Africa is a first recon with that teams from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania Rwanda, Brune a team that are coming out to show the rest of Africa that we are here to make a name and there is also the issue of a fun wave that is coming in we found that in Kenya last March they played the same day now same day of Algeria and we found that there are so many supporters who are not actually for Gormaya, FC Leopards others from Sofapaka, Karobankshaks were there to support Gormaya meaning that it's a time that you can put aside your club affiliation when we have a big match involving the Kenyan club or the regional club with another club and I think that the wave that has been there between North Africa and West Africa and part of Central Africa is going to be broken by coming in of East Africa and just some few comments coming in through Steve Ayo football writer with 442 Media and he's been on the show before he's saying that something related what you guys are saying Gormaya boys just need to put their financial issues behind them once they step on that pitch because you know the controversy in the first place you remember Kassarani stadium was made to be used by some expo function until tomorrow until Kenyans on Twitter and social media platforms had to intervene and Amina Muhammad said that the expo has to end today ahead of tomorrow so he says fans will be there they go to perform for the fans and for themselves winning these games raise the profile of the club and the players too and means more money to ask from the management because I know Kassarani stadium tomorrow will be full I've seen several people speaking CS Amina Muhammad, Ambasada Kirinika Beria all of them trying to rally fans through their Twitter account to show up in large numbers and support Gormaya football club irrespective of their club affiliation leave your nameslap and need to go to Kassarani because that is continental duty and it's like representing the country after continental we come back home and it's business as usual but unfortunately Levziu is already out of sport space a shield therefore they are not eligible to qualify for cup confederation next season I think that's good for diversity because in Kenya I think we need to run away from the big boys vs the others we need to do that I think next season we expect another club, bandari sofa parka or even karyobankshaks to be there for confederation and I expect perhaps the champions that's Gormaya who are likely to return their cup to be in the quarterfinals of champions league not confederation and that's the way we should be moving you look at this analysis Karyobankshaks went to the cup confederation cup in the preliminary stage where they were knocked out Gormaya managed to go into the champions league, dropped out to come to the group stages of the confederation cup so you look at the quality there and it tells you we are not ready to play in the champions league we are ready and good enough to play in the confederation cup other matches in the africa champions league will be ma melodi sandowns vs alayli then we have Horoya AC vs Wydard AC and then club sportive vs EST tunis so that africa has also been doing good with ma melodi and Orlando pirates and case achieves but this time round it will be the sandowns in the champions league ma melodi sandowns has been doing very well remember for the last 3 to 4 seasons they have been doing very well in the champions league the other clubs we are talking of alayli has always been there has always been there doing what they do but there is an inclusion of one club from Ginnikul Horoya Horoya is a club that was bought by someone with money 3 seasons ago and they have been doing well remember last season they did well they are meeting Wydard AC Wydard AC is a big name remember they have been champions just like ma melodi sandowns for the first time I can say that the knockout at this stage we are seeing good teams you cannot place your money there is no push of us here because Horoya at home and beaten in champions league look at Simba at home and beaten look at ma melodi sandowns they know that if they are not going to get the result at captain they will be beaten when they go away so we are having good matches the dynamics of african african football is home and away even up to the semi final stage how tough does that make the knockout stages of the calf champions league and the confederation cup it's quite tough because I think in the first place you just have to finish it especially when you are playing when you are having a hakeulian task playing north african clubs is such a big assignment because even as we speak gormaya has had a challenge winning at home their record performances during return leg fixtures has been quite awful so finishing it off at home I think is the most important thing because gormaya as they seek playing rs berkane tomorrow evening they need to win and to win spectacularly so that when anything happens in the return leg at least they have cemented their status during the first leg so the dynamics have changed and the first leg matters most especially when you are playing at home and you are playing against a stubborn side just like your team united will be playing against Barcelona and unfortunately they are starting at home contrary to how it was supposed to be if they have to pick a point thanks a lot Patrick appreciate you coming here this guy is trying to be loose he is not committing anything and he is happening midweek of course it will be happening next week and we will be here for us to discuss next week because if you get hammered you just get hammered just like the african champions league you get hammered at home we have previously overturned huge first leg deficit we are talking about Barcelona this segment was for african football this segment was not for european football let's say March 32 of EPL goals when we come back we will be talking about Tottenham's new stadium or the Laguna start that is in Shambles in Old Trafford and other matches that will be happening in La Liga and the Bundesliga
