The Frenchman said his players are angry with themselves following their 1-0 loss to their next-door neighbours in last Sunday’s first leg duel at the Nyayo Stadium.

Consequently, Mette said his charges cannot wait to get on the pitch and do the business against the continental regulars.

“The guys have a good mindset…they have some regrets. Some of them are angry about themselves, that’s a good mindset to take revenge on Sunday,” the gaffer said.

The Frenchman added that they will approach the game as a final, leaving it all out on the pitch to come away victorious against all odds.

The fact that they have played in two finals in recent months — FKF Cup and FKF Supercup — and won, is a source of solace for Mette.
