Africa-Press – Angola. The athletes’ recovery to maintain their physical condition dominates today, from 10:00 am, the training session of the Sagrada Esperança team at the Nsuka e Reis Complex, in the municipality of Talatona, aiming at the challenge with Petro de Luanda, for the matchday three of Group D of the African Football Champions Clubs League.
The two national representatives will face each other this Saturday, at 17:00, at Estádio Nacional 11 de Novembro.
In this preparation, coach Roque Sapiri will submit the players most used in the challenge with Zamalek SC, with some light exercises.
The rest will work intensively to improve technical-tactical aspects, with emphasis on defensive organization and quick offensive transitions.
Tomorrow, in the morning, the diamonds will return to preparation at the same sports venue in the country’s capital.
After the usual warm-up exercises to maintain their physical condition, the athletes begin to rehearse their game ideas with the aim of winning against the tricolors.
The striker Depu, who was observed by the club doctor Lunda, should be spared by the coaching staff to prevent the injury to his right ankle from worsening.
The top scorer of Girabola’2021/22, with 19 goals, was substituted on Saturday, in the game against Zamalek SC, after suffering from pain in his right foot after a collision with an Egyptian defender in the dispute for the ball.
The two teams will face each other again, on the 11th of March, in Luanda, for the fourth round of the competition. On Saturday night, the Lundas got their first point in the competition, drawing, without goals, with the White Knights (nickname of Zamalek SC), at Estádio Nacional 11 de Novembro.
With this equality, Sagrada Esperança remains in fourth place, with the “red lantern”, with one point and Zamalek SC is in third position, with two. Petro, another Angolan representative in the Champions League, leads Group D, with four points, followed by Wydad AC, with three.
