A little more than 4 months later, the Football Club Lupopo is preparing to replay a National Football League match. It is in front of a losing Darling Club Motema Pembe that the Railwaymen will play their penultimate match of the first leg of the championship on the afternoon of this Thursday, June 16, at the Kibasa Maliba stadium.
Before the shock, the coach of the yellow and blue, Christian Bracconi presented himself in the traditional press conference, conference during which he delivered his impressions. For him, despite the complexity, he and his foals are ready to fight. “We’ve been training tirelessly for 4 months, so we’ve done a lot of athletic work to keep up. I don’t have many worries, although I think the end of the game can be difficult for us. But we are ready in our heads and on all fronts. I’m looking forward to this match because it’s matches in front of our audiences.” said the Frenchman.
Almost qualified for African competitions, the club from across the tunnel will wait until the end of the last two days to know its fate. They will either be in the Champions League or the Confederation Cup, 7 years after their last participation. Christian Bracconi savors this moment. “We have the opportunity to go down in the history of the club, after 7 years that the team has not participated in an African cup, so it is a historic moment (…) We also see it through all the messages that we were able to receive and the visit of former railway workers. We made an impression, so we are waiting for this match.”
Third ranked with 42 points, Lupopo completes the top three after having played 17 games, last Mazembe with whom he has the same number of games and VClub who has one more.
