Hudanski fears tough Gambia tie

Congo coach Eddy Hudanski is expecting a tough ride when the hosts come up 
against Gambia in the African Youth Championship (AYC) on Tuesday.

The Red Devils beat Ivory Coast 2-0 on Saturday to go joint top of Group A.

"We've made our next match more difficult by beating the Ivory Coast because 
we have now become one of the favourites for the competition," he said.

"The Gambia will now be on their guard and make things very difficult for us 
so we will have to be vigilant and look at how they played against Burkina 
Faso."

Hudanski added: "I think the difference between us and the Ivory Coast was 
that in the second half we had more desire to win the game.

"We saw at the start of the second half they were too relaxed and so we were 
able to take the lead in the game."

The Gambia, who have been offered US$1m by President Yahya Jammeh to win the 
competition, beat the Burkinabe 2-0 on Saturday.

Gambia's coach Peter Bono Johnson is full of confidence after his side won 
their first match 2-0 against Burkina Faso.

"Our objective is to lift the cup," Johnson said.

"The Congo will have the advantage of having the support of the home crowd 
behind them but we will make sure that we compose ourselves and not let the 
atmosphere overcome us.

"They've also had the advantage of watching us train but we've prepared well 
and will make sure we give them a run for their money."

Burkina Faso's youth coach Sideke Jarah was not feeling quite as confident 
ahead of his side's tie against the Ivory Coast.

"I don't have a solution for our problems at the moment, we need to organise 
ourselves better because we lost the ball too much in the middle of the 
pitch.

"This cost us dearly, so we'll need to be more careful in this area," Jarah 
said.
