Today, the Tricolores face Espérance de Tunis from Tunisia, at the Estádio 11 de Novembro, in Luanda, at 5:00 pm, in the 4th round of group C of the African Champions League
The coach of Petro de Luanda, Alexandre Santos, said yesterday, at a press conference, in one of the hotels in the country’s capital, that his athletes must face this followingnoon’s challenge with a high sense of responsibility, highlighting that they will face one of the best teams on the «cradle continent».
Although they won four points away from home, the Portuguese helmsman highlighted that the Tricolors should not cling to the past, considering that each challenge has its difficulties.
“Obviously, we are going to face one of the best teams on this continent. We are not worried regarding the future.
What we want is to score more points. I think we’re going to make it,” he began by saying. Alexandre Santos recognizes that his opponent has been a “tough nut to crack” away from home.
As a result, the Portuguese coach hopes to count on the strong support of members and fans from the beginning until the final moments of the match so that the team can get the three points and, in this way, guarantee qualification to the next stage.
“We are in the lead, but we shouldn’t think that everything will be easy. Being first has no meaning.
Therefore, fans must support the team at all times”, he revealed. In the previous round, remember, both teams did not go beyond a goalless draw.
In the league table, the Tricolors lead group C with seven points, with the Tunisians in second place with four.
