Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>APR FC head coach Darko Novic has said that his players have been responding positively to the preseason training although they still have a room for improvement.<\/p>\n

The Serbian tactician will be coaching his first match when the army side takes on Police FC on Monday, July 1, as both sides battle for Amahoro Stadium inauguration trophy.<\/p>\n

Prior to the match, Novic said, “I am very happy with how preparations have been going in general since I arrived. The players will do what we ask for. It is a bigger responsibility but we cannot be judged by the match against Police. We have a lot to do, we will give our best in the game and we will play a very good game.”<\/p>\n

Asked how prepared his men are ahead of Police clash, Novic said the team didn\u2019t have enough time to prepare for the match.<\/p>\n

“It was a short period, just one week we trained. We didn’t do a lot of things for the Police game, there is risks in front of us, we missed some tactical things for sure but it will be done after all, ” He told the Press ahead of the Independence day game with Police FC<\/p>\n

This will be the first official game between the two teams as they prepare for their respective African club football campaign. The game which is part of activities to commemorate Rwanda’s 62nd Independence day anniversary will also serve to officially inaugurate new-look Amahoro Stadium after its completion in June.<\/p>\n
