Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane insists that his side will take nothing for granted despite their dominant position.
“We have not qualified to the final.” Said the South African tacticianin a pre-match conference.
“You will see our preparations are not going to be casual. Even the team over there will not be casual.
“History has many stories – that Ahly knows well, whether technical staff or players. I’ve been a coach for 21 years. I’ve seen teams turn the result from 4-0 to 5-4. Maybe it has happened here (Egypt) I’m not sure.”
His Setif counterpart, Darko Novic, acknowledges that they face a huge task in trying to turn the tie around. But he is hopeful that they will put up a strong showing in front of their supporters.
“We are well prepared in Setif.” Said Novic.
“We conducted many technical analyses to choose our strategy in the two games.”
