Espérance de Tunis begins its CAF Champions League campaign at home by hosting Malian team Djoliba AC, in Group D, this Tuesday at the Olympique Hammadi Agrebi stadium in Radès, Tunisia.
After losing the cup last year to Al-Ahly in the final, Esperance de Tunis will undoubtedly seek to get off to a good start and establish themselves as a serious contender for the title.
I think all the players are ready for tomorrow’s match. On the other hand, I think the media didn’t really understand what I said before the last match. What I meant was that I didn’t have all the players available. Many were with their national teams, and I didn’t have enough time to prepare the team with everyone together confided Laurentiu Reghecampf, the coach of the Tunisian team
For its part, Djoliba AC, champion of Mali, remains undefeated since last May, in all competitions. Coach Mbemba Traoré’s team recently won the Mali National Cup by beating their rival, Stade Malien.
At this level of competition, it is essential to be in good physical condition, and you also have to adapt to the level of Esperance. In this high level of football, all these qualities are necessary. We must live up to the game of Hope.
Nationally, ES Tunis occupies sixth place in the championship and remains undefeated in its last four matches. This will be the first time the two teams meet in competition. The other teams in Group D are Pyramids of Egypt and Sagrada Esperança of Angola.
