Yanga head coach Miguel Gamondi believes that the experience that Yanga players gained in the Confederations Cup in Africa last season will be important in the game for the ticket to qualify for the Champions League group stage against Al Merrikh
Saturday September 16, Yanga will be in Rwanda to face Al Merrikh in the first leg game to be played at Pele Stadium, Kigali
Last season, Yanga played in the final of the Federation Cup, missing the championship according to the rules, despite forcing a 2-2 draw against USM Alger in two finals
More than three-quarters of the players who gave Yanga success last season are still there, Gamondi believes that the stars and other registered players know what they have to do
"We are lucky to have players who, apart from the quality they have, are also experienced in the CAF championship, there is no doubt in the way they desire the El Merreikh game"
"I have already given instructions to all the players about what to do in the field, so the job is left for them to go and fight to win away from home"
"Al Merreikh is not easy and we have not taken it lightly, we know we are going to compete with a team that also needs a chance to move forward in this championship, and we are also going to compete to be able to reach the goal, that's why I say we will get to know each other before we meet again here at home ," said Gamondi
