This is the big lesson to be learned from the first day of the first phase of the national soccer championship of League 1 of Congo-Brazzaville. The Association sportive de la jeunesse Unie de Kintelé (AS JUK) went to win this October 26 in Pointe-Noir, beating locals AS Cheminots (1-0). The only goal was scored in the 35th minute by the right-back Borel Okili.
The coach of the defeated side Pierre Mouzita has accepted the blow. He lamented the lack of success of his men who dominated the game. "We led the dance throughout the game (Editor's note: nearly 55% of possession). But we were not able to make the final move. That's what soccer is all about. Let the fans know that these flaws will be corrected," reassured the tactician.
A feeling that contrasts with the joy of his counterpart. "When you face an opponent like AS Cheminots, you have to prepare and focus consistently. The players played without complex and took advantage of the weaknesses of the opponents," said Romeo Danga, coach of AS JUK.
Founded three years ago by dissidents of TP Mystère, a Brazzaville club, AS JUK is based in Kintelé. A small town some 50 kilometers north of Brazzaville.
