On his side, Patrice CARTERON was confident: his team has regained confidence and efficiency.

The only solution is really to force the staff and I in particular to have very difficult choice to do in relation with the content. Now that we have regained confidence and efficiency, it promises the coming weeks to be very interesting."

"It was a good training session, the players of both teams have demonstrated that they had talent and Mazembe proved that they were great in playing in a much disciplined way in defense, midfield and forward. In first and second period, the TPM has a lot of chances. It was a very enjoyable game.
This team of Mazembe has capacity to go and win the Champion’s League this season. First, it must rely on the talents of its players, the quality of play that the team produces, then the ability – thanks to the genius of the players and staff – to get out of trouble by imposing a style. With this alloy I hasten to say that this is the attitude of a great football team. Mazembe has great players; I would not be surprised to learn in a few weeks that this team has won the Champion’s League. Courage and they must to work hard to win the Cup ...»
