Claude Le Roy knows Congo need just four points from their last two AFCON qualifiers

Claude Le Roy knows Congo need just four points from their last two AFCON qualifiers

Claude Le Roy is still confident of Congo Brazzaville's progression to the African Cup of Nations finals, despite picking up just two points from their last two games.

Le Roy's Congo lost 2-0 to Bafana Bafana in Pointe Noire last week, and played out a 0-0 draw in Polokwane last night, however their early wins over Nigeria and Sudan mean that they're still in with a good chance of qualifying.

The Diables Rouges currently sit second in Group A behind Shakes Mashaba's South African team, and the Frenchman says that they 'comfortable' with their position right now.

Speaking after the draw at Peter Mokaba Stadium last night, Le Roy said, "We know that if we draw against Nigeria and win against Sudan then we'll be fine, so it's a little bit comfortable. Our position is better than the Super Eagles, but we know that we still have to play them which will be a tough game.

"We played a beautiful game in Calabar, and we know that it will be difficult in the second match. I wanted to have nine points after playing Bafana, but it wasn't to be. I have to be reasonable though and a draw is not a bad result."
