BOPE Merveille: higher insurance and promises
TP MAZEMBE - SCOM MIKISHI 1-0
Settings still to be done....
March 6, 2013
TP Mazembe won his 10th friendly match of the year on the smallest of margins 1-0. The fault to an honorable performance of the opponent, closing ranks to not lose. But also due to a lack of efficiency of ravens who overflew the meadow without finding the nest.
The simultaneous absence of Mbwana SAMATTA, Rainford KALABA and Jonas SAKUWAHA; the appointed punchers, deprived the TPM from its usual efficiency. The lack of realism also some bad choices and lack of concentration in the terminal phase has forced the men of coach Lamine to be just happy for a minimum score. With one goal obtained by Gladson AWAKO on a service of his accomplice "Solo" ASANTE.
Entertainment for fans
And yet, they did not miss opportunities on Tuesday. Most often on the instigation of wisp ASANTE, always spectacular in his passes of toreador to eliminate the opponent. In the first period, Tresor MPUTU made his return for the first time since the AFCON in South Africa. Captain merely happy of a few charms to the gallery but no real desire to advance the game without giving a ball and a goal. And especially without help his partners in the work of recovery ...
It is therefore especially NKULUKUTA, ADJEI, BOATENG, ASANTE, ULIMWENGU who were found on the basis of some actions carried out smoothly. But without concluding them, in additional left the pitch due to injury (stretching?) Of Cheibane TRAORE after 33 minutes. He wills the regret of the day.
KASUSULA-BOPE in the axis: formula to be reviewed
The satisfaction comes from the fact of not having conceded a goal, unlike the last few games, to solve the problems of central defense (SUNZU is gone, KIMWAKI and HICHANI injured) the coach decided to put Jean KASUSULA in line alongside the young Merveille BOPE tenured again. The first was pulled out of the game, the second gave promises. But it will need more forceful opposition to establish a more assertive judgment.
The TPM will face U.S. Kenya Thursday, probably before the ultimate test on Sunday not defined yet.
Mazembe had aligned: BAKULA - NKULUKUTA then FRIMPONG (89th), BOPE, KASUSULA, BOATENG - ADJEI then NDONGA (89th), SINKALA then OCHAN (85th), MPUTU then AWAKO (46th) - ULIMWENGU then CISSE (65th), TRAORE then BOKANGA (38th) then BAGAYOKO (82th), ASANTE.
