AS Maniema Union is preparing to host the formidable Raja Casablanca on the 2nd day of the Champions League group stage, a crucial meeting for Jephté Kitambala and his teammates after a draw against Mamelodi Sundonws.
Indeed, for the former Mazembe striker, this journey in the Champions League group stage represents a whole new experience. An opportunity for him to share the meager experiences acquired with his teammates. He stressed to the press the high intensity of the competition and the importance of progressing to stand out and improve.
After successfully passing the preliminary rounds, the Kambelembelés are aware of the challenges that await them in this group stage. To qualify for the quarter-finals, Papy Kimoto’s team must put in place a well-developed strategy. In a championship where every point counts, they will absolutely have to win at home while aiming for positive results away from home.
