THE JOURNEY WAS TOUGH BUT WITH OUR PASSION WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT -YUSSIF BASIGI

Hassacas ladies are back from Ivory Coast after their triumphant victory in the maiden edition of the WAFU ZONE B Women’s champions league.

Having guided the Hasmal Ladies to glory in Abidjan, head coach Yussif Basigi said  ”The journey was not easy ,it was very difficult  but we were able to pass through because of our determination”.

”If u are doing something and u don’t have passion u will not achieve it, when we lost our first game against Rivers Angels many people thought the journey has come to an end but because of the determination we were having we didn’t  lose hope,   we rather corrected our mistakes and bounced back into the tournament and we were able to make it”. 

He said that there is the need for review to assess the team’s strengths and weaknesses as well as the pros and cons going forward.  

” Now that we are back home successfully we will do a match review and see if it is important for us to do a few signings.

With the Champions league set to commence in Egypt soon, Basigi stressed on the need to rest after a long season and come back to prepare for the competition.

”We will break camp but we have another competition; ‘First Ladies Cup’  but we don’t know if it will take place or not ,so if the competition take place we will break camp after it but if it doesn’t  then we will break camp immediately for the players to rest for sometime  because they are tired”.

Coach Yussif Basigi  won  the CAF women’s champions league coach of the tournament award.
