Africa-Press – Angola. The coach of Petro de Luanda, Alexandre Santos, admitted, this Thursday, in Luanda, that Sagrada Esperança is a difficult opponent, despite the victory speech to maintain the leadership of the National Football Championship “Girabola2022-23”.
Speaking at the launch press conference for the game at 3:30 pm on Saturday, with Sagrada Esperança, for the 27th round, in Dundo, he said, even so, that the team was prepared for the difficulties in a field that is always difficult to play
“Our focus is on winning a game that is expected to be intense from beginning to end, against an opponent who has already been national champion (2021)”, he reiterated.
Alexandre Santos, champion of the last edition with Petro de Luanda, devalued the punctual difference in the league table, where his team leads with 59 points, while the opponent has 46 points, in third place.
In turn, the clinical manager of the “tricolor” team, Jorge Pereira, said that Alex Soares is unable to play because he was injured in the recent duel against Sporting de Cabinda (2-0), being the only casualty.
