Bakambu reveals aggressive approach as DR Congo revitalize Afcon campaign

DR Congo forward Cedric Bakambu has revealed Florent Ibenge’s decision to play with two strikers in their Africa Cup of Nations game against Zimbabwe led to their huge 4-0 success.

After losing their first two games against Uganda and Egypt, the Leopards needed to beat Sunday Chidzambwa’s troops on Sunday evening if they wanted to throw their hat in the ring for qualification to the Round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed sides.

Speaking to the media after their important victory against the Warriors, Bakambu, who scored a brace while fellow strikers Jonathan Bolingi and Britt Assombalonga netted as well, disclosed how Ibenge’s adjustment in attack prompted their goal-laden success.
