Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly's head coach, reflected on the team's 1-1 draw with National Bank SC on Thursday in the Egyptian Premier League. 

"We will fight for the League title."

"We have mistakes and we have to correct them. We did not play well and I am disappointed with my team and myself." 

"We had several chances in the first half, but we failed to convert them. Football always punishes you when you do not take the chances." 

"If I want to find an easy way out, I will say absences, but I am not the type of coach who looks for execuses. We knew from the beginning that we will miss players." 

"We have to support the country. It is not a FIFA tournament and you can say no, just as the European clubs that said no."
