In the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup, Espérance Sportive de Tunis (EST) plays Tanzanians Azam FC (AFC) at their Azam Complex in Dar es Salaam. The first leg is scheduled on April 10, but the match is already in the limelight!
Jaffer Idd (Azam Information Officer) - The Citizen
We have no plan to pitch a camp outside the country; our plan is to use the forthcoming league matches to prepare for the tie against Esperance.
We know that playing Esperance is a tough task, but we will prepare well and give them a run for their money. We are staying positive and hopefully we will eliminate them.
Dennis Kitambi (AFC Assistant Coach) - The Guardian
I wasn’t happy that we conceded cheap goals [against Bidvest Wits]. We need to work on the weakness we displayed in the defense prior to taking on Esperance.
Stewart Hall (AFC Head Coach) - azamfc.co.tz
We are happy to meet Esperance, one of the biggest teams in Africa. We want to play Esperance, you know; it is a good thing for the club, for our players, and everyone is happy....
