What They're Saying
Gabon head coach Jorge Costa (via Goal): "We already have three points, but it is not over yet."
Congo forward Dominique Malonga: "We have a big game against Gabon. We know exactly what we have to do and we have to be focused. Gabon are a good team. You have to have good intensity for all of the game and I think we can win. [Claude Le Roy] is really important as all the pressure is on him and he has big experience. He talks so much with everyone and he knows the competition so well. We are happy to have a coach like that. There was intensity in the second half [against Equatorial Guinea]. We played very well. Against Gabon, we have to attack very well to try to score. All is possible for us. It is a very important game and we are ready to compete."
