Following their 1-1 draw with Medeama SC, Young Africans coach Hans Van Der Pluijm has blasted his strikers for their failure to win the game insisting they were poor.
The Dutch trainer couldn't hide his disappointment after the Ghanaian side held them to a stalemate at home leaving them winless in the competition so far
Quoted by the Daily News website of Tanzania, Pluijm said despite failing to convert their chances, they must keep fighting hard.
“We wasted so many scoring chances and that was the main reason we couldn’t win this match,” Pluijm is quoted as saying.
“The strikers decided the result, had they utilised the chances we could be telling a different story, Tambwe (Amissi) had chances, it’s the same with (Obrey) Chirwa and (Donald) Ngoma as well.
“We must keep fighting and try to win the remaining games and see if that will take us through. We cannot lose hope after these past results, everything is possible.”
The draw means Yanga remain rooted to the bottom of the table with one point after three games following losses to Algeria's MO Bejaia and DR Congo's TP Mazembe.
Yanga will visit Medeama in Sekondi, Ghana on Tuesday July 26 for the return leg of the game.
