Egyptian side, Al Ahly, is guarding against any surprise from their Nigerian semi final first leg opponents, Sunshine Stars.
Contrary to popular opinion in football circles, Al Ahly’s second in command, Mohammed Youssef, believes the Nigerians would be worthy challengers.
“We watched some of their matches in the NPL and in the African Champions League and we founded them to be very fast and we will have to stop their speed”
” Many people have suggested that Sunshine is weak team and I find absolutely no logic in that. Granted they started off slow but they have now peaked and they are now in the semi final with a chance to play in the final. That is not weak. We too have veteran players and will do our best to win there so that we can close out here in Cairo” he added on SuperSport.com.
The two teams are expected to clash October 6 in Nigeria.
