Two days before facing the unknown El Hilal in the quarter-final of the C2, Ravens discovered on Thursday 14 September El Obeid Stadium. A synthetic grass surface of the same generation as the TPM Stadium in Lubumbashi
The day before, the men of Pamphile MIHAYO, who worked very hard in a small area to clean up, were delighted on this large space. This Thursday’s morning had begun with a session of muscular awakening. A moment of putting in legs before to put up the crampons in the late afternoon for a final workout because the one of the game will be just a matter of mere question.
On their arrival in the premises of more than 15,000 seats, Ravens felt at home in Kamalondo where they play on the same quality of artificial grass. Enjoying only one hour of training, the players went directly to the green rectangle in order to save time. On the menu of the session, warm-up, tactical work and strikes to the goal after an overflow on the sides before ending with play.
This Thursday during the last exercise, Ravens look like conquerors and seemed to be very involved in the games. They did not want to leave the pitch. The coach Pamphile, shaken by the commissioner of the match, had trouble to interrupt the very vibrant party: « With the workforce that I have and the desire in the group where all the players want to start the game, I feel we will have a very good game. My wish as well as that of the supporters is the qualification before El Hilal Obeid. It goes first through the first leg where we have to get a good result before thinking about the second opposition of Sunday 24 September in Lubumbashi. »
Eventual rehearsal so Friday night before defying El Hilal Obeid who is looking forward to face the "giant" Mazembe that he has always admired against his rivals Omdurman: El Merreikh and El Hilal. There will be plenty of fans on site and they are already ready to fully experience the event.
