  1. This is the letter to coach carol kanyemba,
    Madam the work is good that you are doing I like your tactics but atleast you are improving little by little as you are improving always emphasize players to use the mid ground properly let also the goals come out from the center also plus strong winger your team will do great job for us and you personally
    My last point let your players get used with strong short pass ,tell them to hold and control the ball despite the strong pass from the partners always should be quick when praying
