Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The coach of Sagrada Esperanc\u0327a in Lunda Norte, Roque Sapiri, said this Thursday that any opponent who crosses the path of the \u201cLundas\u201d in the second and last round of access to the group stage of the Nelson Mandela Cup, \u201cwill have the respect it deserves\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n

Reacting to the decision of the Confederation of African Football to exempt the club in the first round of access to the group stage, Roque Sapiri said he has no preference in terms of opponent and that the team is being prepared to face any contender.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this competition, the technical quality of the opponents should not be devalued or belittled because everyone is growing and aspires to reach the group stage and we do not have an opponent of preference\u201d, he stressed.<\/p>\n

Regarding the two possible opponents, Roque Sapiri said he only knew Ferrovia\u0301rio de Maputo and that a team was already scouting for Belle Lumiere in the Comoros Islands.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that one of the team’s objectives for the next football season is to pass the group stage of this competition.<\/p>\n

In the 2022\/23 season, Sagrada Esperanc\u0327a did not qualify for the group stage of this competition, after being eliminated in the first round by Saint-E\u0301loi Lupopo from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n

In the first game the \u201cLundas\u201d lost by 2-0 and in the second match they tied (0-0).<\/p>\n
