When DR Congo face rivals Congo on Saturday, it will be time for Yannick Bolasie to leave an Afcon mark.
The Crystal Palace man will lead his DR Congo in the first quarterfinal tie of the ongoing Afcon.
Bolasie came into the tournament on good form for his English Premier League side, but has just managed a goal throughout the two weeks of African football.
“I hope I can score the goals that can take the team to the next level,” he Bolasie.
Meanwhile, with talented teammates in Chancel Mbemba, Firmin Mubele Ndombe and Cedrick Mabwati helping him search for goals, it will be the man in the opposition dugout who will be feared most.
Former coach Claude Le Roy leads the Congolese charge, and the Frenchman is aware of how tough the task will be.
"We know that it is going to be tough. It is four million people against 70 million with players in all the top leagues," says Le Roy.
He goes on: “My players are beginners. They have the desire to win, after defeating the title holders Nigeria in the qualifiers, Gabon and vice-champions Burkina Faso.”
Bolasie will also have to contend with Thievy Bifouma, who has two goals in the tournament. Other threats for DR Congo will be Dore Ferebory, Cesair Dorlich Sidney Gandze.
The hugely awaited derby kicks off at the Estadio de Bata from 5pm CAT
