Niger will be seeking a remarkable turnaround when they lock horns with CHAN co-hosts Uganda in the group C contest under the lights of Namboole.
Niger head coach Harouna Doulla whose side lost to Guinea in their opening match believes his side can fix the mistakes and overcome Uganda
“We have to rectify some mistakes we made and pressure our opponent, using our strengths. We have to focus. We are prepared to face the fans, and that is good for the spectacle of the game,” the Niger coach said.
Doulla knows from experience that Ugandan home crowds can be intimidating, but he sees that as a challenge to be embraced.
“In all our previous encounters against Uganda, the fans’ pressure is very strong, but we will contain that pressure and fight with our fighting spirit. We have never lost in this competition, but now we have to write a new story, and the players must free themselves and show their potential.” Said Doulla
Victory for Doulla’s sude could spark a remarkable turnaround while defeat end their campaign before it has truly begun.
