A unique slot to represent The Central African Football Federations’ Union (UNIFFAC) in the upcoming CAF Women’s champions league hangs in the balance as 15 de Agosto prepares for a crunch encounter against FC Ebolowa this Monday at 1600 CAT.
According to 15 de Agosto head coach Barthélémy Bloade and captain Immaculada Avelina Abang, the decisive factor in this “make or break” encounter won’t just be tactical prowess, but mental and physical fortitude.
The Statistical Standoff: Best Attack vs. Best Defense
Coach Bloade set the stage for a classic footballing dichotomy. He first lauded the opposition’s impressive run: “We have Ebolowa who are first: three matches 9 points. They scored 9 and conceded one. They’re the best defensive side momentarily.”
He then highlighted his own team’s strength: “15 de Agosto are second with 7 points. In 3 matches they’ve scored 15 and conceded 3. So they’re the best offensive team, which brings us to a situation that pits the best attack against the best defense. Tomorrow the game will be decided in details.”
The Decisive Factor: Mentality and Concentration
Recognizing the immense stakes, the coach emphasized the psychological battle ahead. He praised the organization of the competition and urged his players to stick to their principles. “We shall ask our girls to play our style of football, respect the opponents and and have a solid mentality.”
Bloade specifically pointed to the established strength of their opponents: “What we know about Cameroon in Africa like men or the women is their solid mindset. They play fluid football and are physicality present. No matter what, we need to keep our concentration from start to finish.”
He also expressed gratitude to his management and issued a passionate call for support: “The management has kept us in good conditions and I’ve been thanking them since the start of the competition. Now I’ll like to ask the Guinean population to come to the field and support the girls.”
Concluding with a message of competitive spirit, Bloade said, “Let the best team win, and I know that the team that wins will better represent the region. We can’t reveal all we are going to do, but we are ready to approach the game.”
Player Perspective: The Non-Negotiable of a Strong Mind
Key player Avelina Immaculada echoed her coach’s sentiment, focusing squarely on the mental aspect of the game.
“We’ve spoken about the mental solidity of Cameroonian teams. We have an idea of how it works,” she stated after presumably engaging Endale and Ebenye (Cameroonian teammates) on ways to match the opponents’ symbol of mental grit. For 15 de Agosto players, internal strength is paramount: “It’s important as a player to have a solid mentality. If you do not have a strong mentality, nothing is guaranteed to work.”
