Tout Puissant Mazembe

At a press conference after TPM-MOB, the Franco-Algerian team coach of Béjaïa, said that the two oppositions against the TPM were a nice school of experience.  "I congratulate my players who have tried to stop this team of TPM that has nothing to do in the Confederation Cup, it was planned for the Champions League..." he also mentioned Nasser SANDJAK. Extracts:

« Above all, we must put things in context. MOB is a young team that came to learn from the African Champion at his home in Lubumbashi. The performance of my players is all to their credit, it's a shame that the game situations that are produced were not to our advantage. We also had other things to do as an opportunity to equalize at the very end of the match. »

Learning before Mazembe to grow

« We know that this mini-league is complicated and difficult, we also know that our last match will be at home against Medeama to reach the semifinals. Even if we had taken a point here that would not have changed anything. We give honor to TPM, this match before a big champion will serve us for many things...

« The match was clean, I congratulate my players who have tried to stop this team of TPM that has nothing to do in the Confederation Cup, and it was planned for the Champion’s League. For the MOB, it's a bargain, a joy and a pleasure to face TPM. My players gained experience on this game where TPM proved it had enough powers while MOB has not its level yet. Physical power of TPM players is amazing, they put the commitment in the tackle while those of MOB trying to build the game. It makes sense that we were rushed...

« This TPM makes me think of a big team from Cameroon which was able to score at any time without necessarily dominating the game. I hope we shall meet TPM in final for a high level game. Let me also congratulate everybody for their hospitality. »
