CONAKRY- Hafia FC will host the Olympic flame this Wednesday, March 7 at 4 p.m. at the Petit Sory Nongo stadium as part of the matches on the 9th day of the Guinean Ligue 1 championship.
A match which pits Hafia (2nd in the ranking with 15 points) against the Flamme Olympique team which started the Guinean championship in less than optimal conditions (11th with 8 points). These are the two assistant coaches who kicked off this match at a press conference today at the Petit Sory stadium
GASSIM Nour, Hafia assistant coach:
« As usual, we prepared well for this match in good conditions. We are champions of Guinea and every match counts for us. The Olympic Flame is not small, every time we meet against them, we have difficulties. But to be leader and champion, we have to win all our matches. With all respect for our opponent, we must win. Hafia prepared very well, tactically, physically and the atmosphere is very good. We hope to win this match and the others to retain our title.
Ousmane CAMARA, Olympic Flame assistant coach : « We are approaching this match in a very good state of mind. This match against Hafia is very important for us because we need to win it to be able to get back on track. We want to go far, despite our very complicated start to the championship. Today we need to win against Hafia. The mentality is good and we come for victory. Last season, we experienced a lot of difficulties, especially towards the end of the season. Everything is still playable for the Olympic Flame in this championship. We respect Hafia a lot, they are a very good team, they are reigning champions but we will not back down. We will come to get the three points at the Petit Sory stadium.
