We are playing aainst a team that has sent players to countries like Morocco , Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Europe"
"We are in a transition period. We are trying to get new blood into our team after many of our players whose time to serve the national team ends"
"It won't be an easy game at all but we have come here to fight for the important results to keep our hopes alive in the Afcon competition," says Michu
