If you look at the Yanga squad, you will agree that if they fail to advance to the Champions League groups this season, then the leaders will have a hard time answering questions about what they should do to achieve that
Yanga started preparing for the Champions League last season, now the Citizens are in their best moment
Well, Yanga has not played in the Champions League groups for about 24 years, but in the squad they have players who have played in the competition in recent years
Joyce Lomalisa, Djuma Shabani, Yannick Bangala, Jesus Moloko, Fiston Mayele, Heritier Makambo, Bernard Morrison, Stephane Aziz Ki and Tuisila Kisinda have a lot of experience in the competition
In the AS Vita that was really 'hot', Djuma, Lomalisa, Kisinda, Moloko, Mayele and Bangala were present. Only last season, Kisinda won the Confederation Cup with RS Berkane
These guys Khalid Aucho, Gael Bigirimana, Djigui Diarra, Feisal Salum, Farid Mussa, Dickson Job, Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto, Sure Boy are players who have experience of participating in big competitions as well
Yanga needs to win against Al Hilal in order to qualify for the group stage. The good news is that six players in their squad have been trained by Florent Ibenge, Al Hilal's coach.
Perhaps Al Hilal should be more afraid of meeting Yanga especially Ibenge who knows the type of people he is going to meet
They are people who know his methods inside/out and will want to show their quality in front of him
October 08 will be a historic day for Yanga and surely the Citizens have every reason to win the game against Al Hilal
