“I am quite happy to be here in South Africa, it is my second time coming here and I have learned a lot from the first time when we also faced Mamelodi Sundowns, but tomorrow’s game is going to be different,"

“The AFL is a very strong and hard competition, it includes the best eight teams in Africa, we are going to do our best in the competition," 

Koller also stressed on the fact that Al Ahly is known for fighting and winning competitions, last season’s match is history, and the focus shifts to tomorrow’s game.
