The black and yellow ensemble is one of the two most dominant clubs in the West African country\u2018s football and sneaked into the country on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They were joined by head coach Nouhoum Diane yesterday evening and when interviewed briefly at the Hilton Garden Inn after their training session, the team\u2019s assistant coach Daouda Kone said they were well aware of the threat posed by the local side, but was quick to point out that they were here for a win.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are definitely a good team. You do not become champions or get to this stage of the tournament if you are a bad side so we know what we are up against and we are more than ready for the challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kone mentioned that Leopard was the first Southern African team they had to face and said they were content with the treatment and hospitality they had received in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cEswatini has been fantastic. We have been welcomed with open arms and we are more than grateful to the host side and host nation for this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

When quizzed about the artificial turf and whether the weather would affect their performance, he answered to the negative, stating that the professional footballer\u2019s duty was to perform to the best of their abilities no matter the circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not used to playing in artificial turf and our temperatures are always high. but our players have a duty to adapt, and I am certain they will be ready for the battle on Wednesday,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
