Johnson: We are Ready to Face Al Duhail 

Al Ahly in World Cup, Football

Al Ahly’s assistant coach Cavin Johnson revealed that the team is ready for Thursday’s match against Al Duhail SC in the first round of FIFA Club World Cup. 

“We began the preparations for the tournament one month ago. We prepared the players for this competition very well in order for them to be fully concentrated during the tournament.” 

“Regarding the fitness level, our players are ready and they have a strong will to achieve great results in the FIFA Club World Cup. Everyone is ready to face Al Duhail, especially that the team is keen to proceed for the second round.” 

“After the draw, we spoke to the players to prepare them for Al Duhail’s game and to avoid any talks about facing Bayern Munich, as we must win the first game.” 

“Captain Mahmoud El Khatib is supporting the whole team, and his presence with us in Doha will encourage the team, even more, to keep fighting and to achieve great results in the competition.” 

“I felt very emotional when Al Ahly fans warmly welcomed us in Doha. They were chanting and calling for Captain El Khatib. The whole scene was impressive and showed that El Khatib is a legend who craved his name in letters of gold in history.”

“It is something honorable when a football player hangs his boots and his fame increases even after his retirement. The fans were warmly calling Bebo upon his arrival, and this shows his great and prestigious value.”

“We came to the FIFA Club World Cup to represent Africa and not only Egypt. We are not here to celebrate being the African champions, but we came here to achieve good results and to go beyond all the expectations.” 

“Our head coach Pitso Mosimane is one of the best managers in the continent, and he is doing his best to write his name in the club’s history books.” 

“I would like to thank our fans for their continual support. Since our first day in the club, they always supported us and we know that they want us to keep winning more titles. We will do our best to make them happy.”
