Stade Malien coach Djibril Dramé tells cafonline.com that his team has a mission to accomplish in the Orange Confederation Cup final second leg clash against Entente Setif of Algeria. The Malians lost 0-2 in the first leg and are hoping to overturn the tide their favour.

Below are excerpts of the interview:

Tactically, the stage will be different compared to Setif?
I’m not sure, since the team will approach the game on Saturday with other missions. With two-goal lead, the Algerians will like to close the game by playing defensive. But we will force them to play and will work hard in that direction.

What are your expectations?
This will be a hotly contested final second leg between Stade Malien and Entente Setif. Each team has large assets and the difference will be on details. We have been working since our return from the first leg. We are focused for the game and will play with more commitment. We have also have to be mentally strong.

Will you be switching tactics from the first leg?
Every game comes with its approach. We are moving with time. This game is an important assignment and we have the opportunity to make history. I really hope this young team will win to complete history.

Any injury worries?
Not much. There is uncertainty on the availability of some players, but that is up to the team Doctor.

Message to your fans
We know the fans will be present as usual. We ask for patience especially in difficult situations. Their support in difficult moments is very crucial as there can be a turnaround at any time of the game. Their role is very important.
