Under-20 to guard against complacency

The Junior Mares go into the clash at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium, all but assured of progress to the next round, after a resounding 4-1 victory in Luanda last week. “We are very focussed on the match. We have had very good preparations since we came back from Luanda. Although we carry a healthy lead, we do not anticipate an easy match against Angola. They are a strong side. They have good players who have the potential to cause problems for us,” Gaebolae said.

She added that all the 20 players in the squad will be available for selection for the Angola clash. “What is important for tomorrow’s match is to guard against complacency. We have been talking to the players to be focused and guard against being overconfident. If they become too confident, complacency can creep in and eventually cost us,” Gaebolae told Mmegi Sport. The Junior Mares travelled to Francistown on Wednesday and had their first training session yesterday.
