Mazembe is considered one of the largest African teams due to the championships it has achieved, especially in the 21st century, where the Congolese team owns five Champions League titles to be equal with Zamalek, three championships ahead of Al-Ahly, the top ranked leader in the African continent.
And in Mazimi there was a Zambian striker who was able to be a witness and a contributor to the crowning of his team by three Champions League championships out of five, here the player is Geffen Singuloma, who won three Champions League titles with the Congolese giant during the seasons (2008-2009) – (2009-2010) ) – (2014-2015).
Yallakora contacted the 34-year-old Zambian striker, who played with the Mazembe jersey for 8 years from (2009 to 2017) when he was recruited from the Zanaco team before moving back to Zambia to play for Boyldcon FC.
Here are the details of the dialogue as follows:
How was your career with Mazembe?
My football career so far is good. I have won most of the titles on the African continent and this is what makes my career great. The most important thing for me is to win the African Champions League title three times.
What do you think are the reasons for Mazembe’s superiority?
The hard work and will to achieve the championships, the team had these characteristics, so we succeeded to be the African champions three times in addition to reaching the Club World Cup and achieving distinguished results in the 2010 edition by obtaining second place in the tournament to be the first African club to reach the final match and from Then the Moroccan Raja team.
Why is it difficult to beat Mazembe on the field?
TP Mazembe is one of the biggest clubs on the African continent, and the team is still among the top despite moving away from the competition a bit in the past five years, in Mazembe the management does not like failure and therefore the team and the players remain eager to achieve championships continuously.
What about your confrontations against the poles of Al-Ahly and Zamalek?
The confrontation of Al-Ahly and Zamalek was preparing for us one of the big matches, and the two Egyptian football are very good at the technical level, but Mazembe remains as well. We have the strength, enthusiasm and will, and this was our weapon in front of them in order to overcome them.
What is your favorite player in Egypt?
Of course, my favorite player, Mohamed Abu Trika, is the star of Al-Ahly and the former Egyptian national team.
– You expect who will be the champion of the Champions League during this edition?
As I mentioned Al-Ahly and Zamalek are good, but the tournament during this edition is not easy with the presence of two teams from Morocco, Wydad and Raja, so it is difficult to determine the team closest to winning the title.
– You had a confrontation against Egypt in the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers .. Tell me about it?
It is true that we faced Egypt at the beginning of the qualifiers, the first match was in Cairo Stadium, and I remember at the time that the stadium was full of Egyptian fans, but in the end we managed to get a point, and it was a good result for us.
In the end … when will Mazembe return to compete for the Champions League?
Mazembe is currently performing well, I expect that the next version will be a strong candidate despite the loss of striker and scorer Jackson Molika, who left in the recent period, but for me Mazembe remains a candidate, as the administration has a desire to regain continental titles again after the 2015 version.
