Al Ahly’s Director of Football Sayed Abdelhafiz said the club have turned all focus on the Egyptian Premier League a day after their 0-1 away loss to Simba SC in CAF Champions league.
After having defeated Sudanese champions Al-Merrikh on matchday 1, Pitso Mosimane and his men have been beaten by Tanzanian champions on Tuesday afternoon.
As Pitso did, Abdelhafiz also bemoaned climate conditions in which they played, but said they have no excuse and have to bounce back in the league.
