The ‘vibrator’ who has lit up the Tanzanian league and interclub competition with goals says the pressure is actually on USM Alger, who will be playing at home in front of a capacity crowd.

Young Africans forward Fiston Kalala Mayele has intimated that the side is not under any pressure ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup final second-leg tie against USM Alger this Saturday.

The ‘vibrator’ who has lit up the Tanzanian league and interclub competition with goals says the pressure is actually on USM Alger, who will be playing at home in front of a capacity crowd.

“They (USM Alger) are the ones to play with pressure to satisfy their fans, but for us, our target is to get good results. As such, we will not have any pressure at all.” He noted.

Mayele, known for his famous ‘Tetema goal celebration’, added that every player on the team knows their responsibility of what to do and the importance of the match.

“This is the final game; every player knows his responsibilities of what to do; hence no need to remind each other since everyone understands the importance of the game,” he noted.

As the competition’s leading top scorer with seven goals so far, Mayele will be expected to help Nabi Nasreddine’s charges hunt for goals to overturn the home defeat.

USM Alger won the first leg 2-1 in Dar-es-Salaam; the second leg will take place on 3rd June in Algiers, with both teams aiming to win their first interclub silverware in the club’s history.

The Tanzanian side arrived safely in Algiers and even had a training session on Thursday night.
