Bright bemoans fitness level ahead of Mauritania clash

The team is out of contention as they are currently languishing at the bottom of Group I with just a point with two games to play. However, ahead of their away straw game, the team’s coach David Bright stated the importance of getting a positive result from the clash. Speaking to journalists on Wednesday ahead of the team’s trip to Mauritania, Bright said despite failure to reach next year’s continental spectacular they will have to capitalise on their opponents’ desperation for a win on the day.

“Looking at them (Mauritania) I would say yes they would be under pressure to play for three points, so we need to be careful when we play them. We are not going to take Mauritania lightly or take it for granted. We have to go there and look for three points. We would have to go there and compete; football is not about playing and honouring games. We will have to go there and compete,” he said.
