Dreams FC star man, Sylvester Simba has urged Nsoatreman FC to move to other countries and play more international friendly matches to strengthen their team in making a statement in next season's CAF Confederation Cup.
The 'Efiri Tete Amanaso' secured their spot in the inter-club continental competition after winning the Ghana FA Cup title.
Simba was a key cog in the Dreams FC setup when they reached the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup last season.
However, speaking to Koforidua based Bryt FM, Simba, 22, charged Nsoatreman to step out of the shores of Ghana and play international friendly games in order to gain more exposure before setting out to start their Confederation Cup campaign.
“The Confederation Cup is a big competition. There’s the perception that when you are playing Africa you need to get experienced players in order to thrive. But I will advise Nsoatreman FC to seek more international friendly matches.
“They should move to other countries and play some teams before the competition in order to adapt to the home and away strategy. They can go to neighboring countries like Togo, Benin and others just to have the feel of playing outside the country.
“We are within Ghana and playing ourselves, I don’t think preparing in the country alone will help them."
“They should move from their comfort zone and play clubs in Nigeria and others to get themselves acquainted with the competition. If the team stays in Ghana and prepares, I think they will find it difficult. They don’t have experienced players and I don’t know if they will sign such players to augment the team, so I think the best approach is to play more games with clubs in neighboring countries” he added.
Ghana's representatives in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Champions League will know their preliminary stages opponents on Thursday (today) as the draw is set to be conducted.
