Carteron said Friday that the White Knights’ major aim is to defeat Zesco United. “We have come to Zambia to secure victory. We know that the encounter will be difficult as our competitor eyes the victory as well,” Carteron said during a pre-match press conference.

“I am used to work under pressure as I led big teams in Africa such as TP Mazembe and Raja Casablanca. I know that we are facing a strong opponent and we have to achieve a good result in order to regain our balance once again,” the French coach explained.

The five-time African champions were drawn in Group A, alongside C.D. Primeiro de Agosto, ZESCO United F.C (Zambia), and TP Mazembe (DR Congo).

The whites suffered a 0-3 defeat against TP Mazembe in the opening game of the group stage, before defeating Primeiro de Agosto with two unanswered goals in the second round.
