Yanga head coach Miguel Gamondi and his technical bench are doing a great job at the Avic Town training ground to prepare the team for doing well in various competitions this season
In the few matches that Yanga has played, the difference has been seen, the team plays fast while the players show that they are hungry and thirsty for success
Until now, Yanga fans are satisfied with what they witnessed in the last four matches, two in the Premier League and two in the Champions League, but their joy will be greater if they witness their team win against Al Merrikh and advance to the group stage. the championship of the champions league in Africa
The truth is that the generation of many young Yanga fans have not seen their team play in the Champions League groups, the last time Yanga played in the groups was in 1998 when the group stage involved only eight teams (now it is the quarter-finals)
Gamondi is aware of the great thirst of the people this season and that is why there is so much attention in the training ground
In addition to playing in the final of the Federation cup last season, the people know that their team was eliminated in a similar action again against another team from Sudan (Al Hilal), so the match against Al Merrikh is like a revenge match
Gamondi has said that he and his technical bench are aware of the great thirst of the leadership, members and fans of Yanga and have planned to achieve their goals
"We are continuing with the final preparations for these knockout stage games, I know that last season we were eliminated from a similar stage by a team from Sudan, I know that it has been more than 20 years since the team has played in the group stage, so we know the difficulty and importance of these games," said Gamondi
Yanga is expected to leave Tanzania on Thursday for Rwanda for the first leg game which will be played on September 16 at Pele Stadium, Kigali
