“I watched Mauritania play against Cameroon and they gave a very good impression”, Monteiro told CAFonline.

“Tomorrow is another game and we will look to be better than them. We didn’t play well against Uganda but each game we have to improve.

“We will try to recover the players well for the match and be at a good physical position to compete.

“It is important to win tomorrow because whoever wins has the possibility of going to the next stage.

“We know we will play against the home team and it is always difficult but we must compete. 

“As a coach, my plan for us when we came here is to test our level and gain experience which our young boys need to be better for the future” he added.
