Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly head coach, talked about the team’s preparations for the CAF Champions League final against Morocco’s Wydad AC. 

“We will play an important game during a long and exhausting season. Both teams played 15 games until now, and both of them are keen to win the African title.”

“It is a difficult game and we are facing the same circumstances we faced against Raja. We expect the same tomorrow, but we are capable of dealing with these difficulties."

"We are facing a team that we respect a lot, as they managed to reach the final several times before. Also, I have a great relationship with Wydad’s president and most of the players, but I came here to defend Al Ahly’s name and my career with this prestigious club.”

“We can play anywhere, and this is the reason why we are here in Morocco. We will not speak about anything except the game. I am totally focused on the match, but this does not mean that the outer factors can not affect the game, such as the fans and the stadium. However, we are totally focused on the game.” 

“We are always ready. We managed to play without many important players several times and this happened during the FIFA Club World Cup. We played the competition although missing nine players. We do not make excuses, and we will keep doing our best.”

“We are Al Ahly and we believe in our chances to win, despite the difficulties that we face. Wydad are a big team and they have a great history. We are playing against them at their home ground, but we are here to represent Al Ahly, who have always been capable of competing and winning during any circumstances.”
