TP Mazembe coach happy to pitch camp in Ghana

Head coach of TP Mazembe Patrice Carteron says Ghana provides his team the best atmosphere to prepare in their CAF Confederation semi-final clash.

The DR Congo giants have set up a 15-day training camp in the Ghanaian capital as they prepare for the semi-final clash against Stade Malien.

Mazembe will travel to Bamako for the first leg on Saturday, 5 October. Carteron believes Ghana will put his team in the best shapes before traveling to Bamako for the game.

"I discover Ghana a few months ago and I always love coming here and I think it is a fantastic place to prepare for this competition," the Frenchman told Joy sports.

"I also appreciate the fact that we are here training because we had to travel so far to Morocco and Tunisia for the group games but from Ghana to Mali is ok for us.

"Most people think TP Mazembe have won everything in Africa but that is not true because we are yet to win the Confederation cup which I’m so eager to win for my President.''
