The national coach of the Mambas, Chiquinho Conde, is leading the Mozambican team's preparations for an intense week of football, with a friendly match scheduled against the Eswatini national team. Furthermore, he revealed ambitious plans to take the team to the provinces next week, promoting the presence and support of fans from all over the country.
Chiquinho Conde, known for his pragmatism and strategic vision, is the author of the saying "If you can't win, you can't lose either," a philosophy that reveals the careful and balanced approach he adopts in leading the national team.
The friendly against the Eswatini national team represents a crucial opportunity to refine tactics, test players, and consolidate team cohesion before facing more significant challenges, such as participation in the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). Chiquinho Conde is taking every opportunity to strengthen the team and ensure that the Mambas are ready to compete at the highest level.
Speaking about Mozambique's group in the Africa Cup of Nations, the coach addressed the two title contenders in the group, Egypt and Ghana. Chiquinho Conde emphasized that, nowadays, jerseys don't win games and that Mozambique also has talented players, many of whom play abroad. Among the highlights is the return of Renildo Mandava, a Mozambican international who was sidelined for more than 8 months due to an injury sustained in a La Liga match.
Renildo Mandava, who plays for Atlético Madrid, has returned to the squad, but has yet to make his debut after his injury. Chiquinho Conde expressed confidence in the player's talent and his ability to contribute significantly to the team's performance in the upcoming challenges.
