Is Esperance ready for a miracle?
Miracles do exist as far as Esperance coach Faouzi Benzarti is concerned, and he is hoping his club might do the impossible this weekend and salvage the CAF Champions League title.
But Benzarti will certainly be the under-dogs as far as this encounter is concern, most especially going into this match with a five goals down, however, his side prepares to host Saturday’s second leg of this year’s final in a style.
Two weeks ago in the first match against TP Mazembe Englebert of the Democratic Republic of Congo put an imposing wall for the hosts to climb might have some steps after all, suggests the veteran coach.
According to Benzarti his players are still smarting from the lopsided defeat in the first leg in Lubumbashi last month, where several controversial decisions left the Tunisians frustrated.
“We know we need a miracle but I can see it happening,” he said at a press conference on the eve of the final at the 11 November Stadium in Rades, just on the outskirts of the capital Tunis.
“The players are determined. We started to prepare for the return game as soon as we climbed on the plane in Congo (to head home).
I’ve never seen so much frustration and injustice, we have been given motivation by what happened in the first leg,” he continued.
