Yanga head coach Nasreddine Nabi said that there have been major improvements in the defensive line where they have now reduced many of the mistakes they were making in the past
In addition, the use of defender Ibrahim Bacca has been seen to benefit Yanga especially in the CAF Confederation Cup where the team has allowed only one goal in the seven matches that Bacca played
Yanga head coach Nasreddine Nabi has admitted that Bacca has added creativity to his defensive line and limited mistakes while insisting that all the players have done a great job at the training ground until they got here
"There are big changes in our defensive line, at the moment it is careful and has reduced the small mistakes that existed and Bacca's presence has also been strong due to being careful with high balls, the challenge that was hurting us now seems to be gone"
Nabi said that they used to score a lot of goals from isolated balls, but now he sees that the problem is decreasing, he believes the presence of Bacca and the movement of number six Yanick Bangala has increased the focus on his defensive line
And the defender Ibrahim Bacca has said that the secret of the success of the defensive line this time is the harmony between the players and following the instructions of their teachers
"The quality of Yanga is what has made me strong, it has challenged me to prepare well mentally and my personal abilities, the defender is an area that needs a high level of attention because if you make a mistake, you can cost the team. When I came to Yanga, I found these defenders playing well and giving themselves time to get a chance and now I'm thankful I'm playing,"
"I think the big secret is to commit and sacrifice for the team, if you look at us, we all do that and each one in his role makes sure he doesn't make mistakes and even if they happen, he corrects them quickly or someone else does it. I think our unity is the big secret, " said Bacca
