DR Congo’s Yoane Wissa sets sights on goal scoring ahead of crucial AFCON 2023 clash against Egypt
Anticipation builds for the encounter between Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) on Sunday at the Laurent Pokou stadium. In the lead-up to this pivotal match, Yoane Wissa, the Congolese striker, emphasized the importance of sustained effort and increased goal-scoring prowess in an exclusive interview with Actualite.CD.
Having successfully navigated the group stages, Wissa acknowledged that the team had achieved one of their initial objectives. Looking ahead to the forthcoming clash with Egypt, he stressed the significance of continuous hard work and a more decisive approach in front of goal.
In his candid remarks, Wissa reflected on the team’s performance in the group stages, expressing confidence in their strategic choices.
“We have achieved one of our goals that we set for ourselves; now we know our opponent for the next match. It is important to continue working and be more decisive in front of goal.
In my opinion, we did the right thing in the group stages,” Wissa asserted, underlining the need for precision in the attacking third.
Notably, the Democratic Republic of Congo managed to score only two goals during the group stages of AFCON 2023, placing them among the three teams with the fewest goals scored, alongside Tunisia, Namibia, and Tanzania, all with a single goal each.
As the footballing world turns its attention to this crucial clash between Egypt and DR Congo, Wissa’s commitment to improving the team’s goal-scoring prowess adds an extra layer of anticipation to what promises to be a riveting encounter at the Laurent Pokou stadium on Sunday at 8 p.m. GMT.
