Sayed Abdelhafiz, Al Ahly director of football, spoke about our upcoming game against South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs in the CAF Champions League final.
"We are ready for Saturday's game. We are focused and prepared, as we aim to defend our African title against Kaizer Chiefs"
"We respect Kaizer Chiefs a lot and we refuse to say that they will be easy opponents, just because they did not win the CAF Champions League title before"
"They managed to reach the final after defeating big teams. They knocked out Morocco's Wydad in the semi-finals. This shows that they are a strong team and have great ambitions to win their first African title"
"Football does not depend on names or history, and we have seen previous lessons regarding this point. We will enter the final game with all seriousness, depending on Al Ahly’s character to win the CAF Champions League title and make our fans happy.”
The Red Eagles are set to face South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday in the CAF Champions League final at Mohammed V Stadium.
