Zamalek needs to overturn a 5-1 first-leg thrashing at Tunisia’s Etoile du Sahel when both teams meet in the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final second leg at Cairo’s Petrosport Stadium on Sunday.
And despite the unfavorable conditions, Mansour still believes league and cup champions Zamalek are capable of staging a massive comeback against Tunisian cup champions Etoile � maintaining his full confidence in his players’ abilities.
“I’m fully confident in the players’ abilities to score even more than four goals,” Mansour, known for his controversial statements, told CLT TV channel.
“We scored four goals against Orlando Pirates who are stronger than Etoile, and are able to repeat it against the Tunisians.”
Etoile Manager:
On the other side, Etoile coach Faouzi Benzarti asserted he will not change his gameplan against Zamalek, and that he will continue using the same strategy.
“I didn’t make specific preparations for Zamalek, we will play our normal game,” Banzarti said.
“In the first leg, we missed five key players, but in the end, we rely on the team as a whole and not on individuals.
“We haven’t set a foot in the final. We haven’t achieved anything yet.”
