The Kagus, who are currently second in Group B behind New Zealand, will face Samoa for a place in the last four this Friday at 1pm in Apia. John Sidana, technical manager of the New Caledonian Federation, said third-placed Samoa and the host nation of the OFC tournament will be an important opponent.
Samoa has a strong team, they play quality football, they have the opportunity to play at home and benefit from careful preparation. We have the necessary qualities to succeed. It requires rigour and determination.
Johann Sidaner, Technical Manager, Federation of New Caledonia
“We will end this group stage with this decisive match. We hope to qualify for the semi-finals. Overall, the matches so far have taught us many positive lessons: the boys showed real team cohesion, a real fighting spirit. We are really happy with them so far. But it is clear that the team still has areas for improvement: our physical fitness and concentration during the 90 minutes are aspects that we must improve in order to qualify.“
