Aubrey Modiba Says SuperSport United Are Stronger Because Of CAF
SuperSport United's Aubrey Modiba says that the challenges they have faced during the CAF Confederation Cup have made them stronger as a team. Read: SuperSport Sweat On Williams For CAF Final Matsatsantsa landed in Lubumbashi yesterday ahead of tomorrow's first leg against TP Mazembe, and Matsatsantsa are looking to continue their good form – they're unbeaten in 13 CAF games when they go into battle at Stade TP Mazembe. Modiba, who has featured in all of SuperSport's CCC games this year, has played in countries such as Tunisia, Zambia, Gabon and Guinea amongst others as they forced their way through to their first ever continental final, and it's not the first time they're going to the DRC. SuperSport fought back from being 2-0 down in Lubumbashi in June, and the 22-year-old is hopeful that they can use their fighting spirit to progress. Speaking in this week's issue of Soccer Laduma, he said, "I think the away trips in this competition helped to bring us even closer as teammates. The experience we've gained couldn't be bought anywhere. "We experienced a lot of challenges at hotels, flight delays and hostile environment so, once that happens in a foreign country, it unites you as a team even more. We became even stronger and that's why we keep working until the last second of the game, regardless of the results." Meanwhile, the defender will be eager to get on the scoresheet again in the DRC having already done it once this year. He said, "I scored one of the two goals in Lubumbashi and words can't describe the feeling of scoring there."
