“I know it will be very difficult to get past Dolphin but with God’s help we will.”

Liberian import to the team, David Jacques was more upbeat.

Jacques told nigeriasports.com that he is looking beyond Dolphin because he does not think Dolphin has what it takes to knock them out.

Cameroonian import into the team, Emmanuel Mayi was more precise in his barely passable English that they will overcome the obstacle of Dolphin in Sunday’s match.

The fortunes of Renaciemento of Equatorial Guinea changed when a young coach called, Alain Wabo, also known as Capello took charge of the club in 2004.

In his first season in Guinean Football, this trainer won the league for Renacimiento.

Renaciemento, first became Champion of the regional league of Malabo after the first phase ahead of Elanguena and Atletico Malabo while the top three in the Bata regional league, Akonangui FC, Deportivo Mongomo and Estrela Danizock joined in the final round.

After the second phase, Renaciemento were crowned champions with 15 points out of a possible 18.

Alain Wabo got the job as coach of Renaciemento after the club President, Essono Edjo, went to Cameroon in search of a good coach for the team.

Coach Nicolas Tonyè was contracted but since he did not want to leave Cameroon, he directed them to Alain Wabo, his ex-colleague at Mount-Cameroon FC, who accepted without hesitating.

The club has six Cameroonian players in its books, Ndamè and Peter of Botafogo FC, Wembé and Ngongang of Racing de Bafoussam, Fotso Magath of Mount-Cameroon FC of Buea and Sand Nana of Batié.

The thirty two year old Alain Wabo started his coaching career in the early ninties.

In Cameroon he has coached Oryx de Douala, Have Bamendjou, Aigle of Nkongsamba, Stade of Bandjoun, Have Moungo and Mount-Cameroon FC of Buea.

Renaciemento also has players from Liberia, Mali, Senegal, Togo, Ghana, Burkina-Faso and Coast-d Ivoire.

Before their 2004 league win, they placed second in the league in 2002 and third in 2003.
