‘Palancas Negras’ ready to face Lesotho in the race for CHAN 2025

The national coach, Pedro Gonçalves, in a preview of this Saturday's clash between the 'Palancas Negras' and Lesotho – the first leg of the last round of access to CHAN 2025 – stated that the national football team is prepared to play well and aware of the challenges to be faced, as many of the athletes have not participated in the traditional national team gatherings, but are in good physical condition and are the basis for the choice among those selected.

"CHAN is as important as any other competition, and we are going to play for a good result and face the second game with the same responsibility", he said, in statements to the press, cited by Angop.

It is worth mentioning that, this Thursday, the team carried out its last training session on national soil, before leaving for Durban, South Africa, where it will face its counterpart Lesotho, this Saturday. This Friday, the team 'heated up' on the South African pitch, more specifically at the Moses Mabhiba stadium.

Dabanda, Sagrada Esperança's striker, said that the preparation has gone smoothly, pointing out that the objective is to win in the first leg and "get closer to qualifying".

In turn, Lito, defender of Palanca's Kabuscorp, said that expectations are always high, but if he is chosen, he wants to continue with his usual performance, focused, giving his all and helping to achieve victory.

Quoted by Angop, he also said that the national coach has shared with the team several images, technical and tactical data of Lesotho, aiming to take precautions during the game.
