Africa Soccer Al Ahly to “continue distinguished journey” against Bayern Munich

Pitso Mosimane

Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane promised that the club will continue to raise African flag in the FIFA Club World Cup as they face Bayern Munich on Monday.

A goal from Hussein El Shahat sealed the win for Al Ahly over Al-Duhail in the quarter-final of the tournament.

And it helped the Cairo-based outfit to reach the semi-final for the third time in their history.

But Mosimane would like to make history with the club of Mahmoud El-Khatib by surprising Hans Flick’s side in order to play the final as he believes the German club can also make mistakes.

“It is natural for Al Ahly and its fans to look forward to more victories,” Mosimane said in the pre-match press conference.

“We found ourselves in this situation by achieving victories, by winning the African Champions League and beating Al-Duhail in the first round of the tournament.

“We will continue that distinguished journey.”

“Certainly, Bayern’s match is important and historic, but I don’t think it will be the most important match in Al Ahly’s history.

“We followed their last match. They made mistakes. All teams have strengths and weaknesses. We have also made mistakes against Al-Duhail.

“Perhaps we will make mistakes against Bayern as well, and also when we return to the league in Egypt.

“Football is about correcting mistakes until the coach or player retires. This is the essence of football. We feel humble enough to correct those mistakes. Making mistakes does not mean that we are bad.

“The most important thing is to accept mistakes and work to fix them. We cannot satisfy everyone.

“But as a team, we won the treble, and we are participating in the Club World Cup, we won the first match and we are in the semi-finals. No club in Africa achieved what we did, so we are a good team,” he concluded.
