ASFA-Yennenga faces the challenge of traveling to Dakar without their coach to take on Diambar FC this Saturday in the preliminary round of the African Champions League. Despite this setback, the players of the Burkinabé champion team remain optimistic and determined for the upcoming match.
Captain Mohamed Kaboré exudes confidence, emphasizing the team’s ability to overcome adversity. “Football is about the present. Whatever difficulties we’ve faced are in the past. We’re starting fresh. With our experienced players and a bit of luck, we believe we can achieve something in this match. The experience gained from the CHAN tournament, where we had a significant presence, will be invaluable,” explains Kaboré. He further outlines the team’s objective: “Our goal is to manage both legs of the tie effectively, at home and away, to secure qualification.”
Despite the imminent challenge in the African Champions League, ASFA Yennenga finds itself without a coach. The Malian coach has returned to his home country to serve as assistant to Henry Kasperzack, newly appointed head coach of the Mali national team. Despite this setback, the team remains focused and determined to perform well in the upcoming matches.
