The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) football team is preparing to face Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. This meeting is of capital importance since it could allow the Leopards to qualify for the final phase of the competition.
The coach, Sébastien Desabre, revealed his starting lineup for this crucial match. We note in particular the first tenure of Charles Pickel as a defensive midfielder. This decision shows the confidence placed in the player and his importance in the team’s tactical system.
In the cages, Lionel Mpasi, already reassuring during the previous match against Gabon, will be present again to ensure the defense of his team. The central hinge will be made up of Chancel Mbemba and Dylan Batubinsika, while Gédéon Kalulu and Arthur Masuaku will respectively occupy the right and left lanes of the defense.
In midfield, Charles Pickel will be alongside Samuel Moutousamy and Gaël Kakuta to ensure control of the game and ball recovery. In attack, Théo Bongonda, Meschack Elia and Cédric Bakambu will form the offensive trident, responsible for finding the path to the opposing net.
It is with this solid and determined team that the Leopards will approach this crucial match. Qualification for the African Cup of Nations is within reach, and all players will give their best on the pitch to deliver victory to their country.
May the best win and the DRC can set foot on the pitches of the final phase of the African Cup of Nations, ready to face the best teams on the continent!
