Yanga Fans follow through match against Cercle de Joachim at the National Stadium in Dar es salaam last saturday. Yanga won 2-0.
Both Yanga and APR have advanced into the subsequent round of the
CAF Champions League with resounding victories over their opponents.
While Yanga dispatched Cercle de Joachim by an aggregate of 3-0
goals, APR found a breakthrough of 4-2 over Swaziland’s Mbabane
Swallows despite an away defeat in the opening leg.
Pluijm said every team that progresses to the next round is always
faced with challenges and the tourney becomes more difficulty but this
is not for Yanga.
Yanga, according to him has prepared to cross over every hurdle as on their way to the podium finish.
The coach boasted of quality players this season and he expect his side to advance into the lucrative last eight group phase.
"Yanga is prepared to meet whatever kind of opponent whether APR or
any other team that has qualified to compete in the CAF League," said
Pluijm.
He said Yanga would use a different approach in any match depending on its gravity and would post wins at home or away.
"Everyone believes that home matches are easy to win but this is
not always the case as we beat the Mauritius team in both legs,” said
the Yanga coach.
He said it is imperative the players must make use of every
opportunity that comes their way as the tourney becomes more difficult
as you advance.
In related development, Yanga skipper Nadir Haroub said the match
against APR will be a difficult to play as players of either side knows
each other well.
He said the match against a Mauritius side was easy and that of
|APR will be a tough one basing on the fact that the teams have played
against each other in Kagame Cup several times.
