Back from the African campaign, Étoile Filante de Ouagadougou (EFO) wants to relaunch its season against the Rail Club du Kadiogo (RCK) on the 6th day of Ligue 1 according to the Stellistes coach, Cheick Ouattara.

« What I can promise there will be a spectacle, against RCK, a team which won last day. It will be a difficult match, but we will stay on our objective which is to win day by day,” said the coach.

Before adding that the warm welcome his team received upon returning from the African campaign would be a source of motivation for them to seek these three important points for the relaunch in the championship.

One point separates these two selections in the general ranking. RCK coach Amadou Sampo, for his part, played the confidence card. And this confidence, to listen to him, would have nothing to do with the team opposite.

However, he recognizes that his experience in this championship will not have much contribution because “ the main thing is to take all the matches with their realities. I think if we have to stick to experience we were going to make the league rankings without having to play a single match”.

The players of the selections, for their part, said they were ready, whether individually or collectively. They even found that this match would be an opportunity for everyone to demonstrate their performances and even win starting places for some.

The other duel of the weekend pits Salitas FC against AS Douanes de Kamou Malo. A match that both teams say they want to approach with serenity in a collective spirit. The two coaches all indicated that they had strategies to outwit that of the opposing team.

This match comes at a crucial moment in the championship and where the Gabelous record a series of matches without finding the net. For his assistant coach Antoine Ilboudo these are matches which took place in two different contexts and in this derby, the objective is clear: to win the 3 points.

« If you take the championship, we are at 3 games, 2 goals. Even if the last one didn’t score it can happen. But the African countryside is another level,” added the assistant coach.

The return of Mohamed Lamine Ouattara to the Colombes camp is an additional asset for his teammates even if they insist on the need for collective action. At the same time another press conference was held in Bobo Dioulasso, for the matches which will be played there.
