Al ahly vs Es Tunis starting lineup. Pitso Mosimane is playing ata home and everyone expect him to win his game or make a draw. If he wins he will be facing his Country team Kaizer Chiefs.
“We are playing at home, when we play at home, we play to win. What is important for us is to try to protect our lead, our small lead. You do so by scoring and making sure the opponent doesn’t score,” Mosimane said as quoted by the club’s official website.
“Of course, we enter the second leg with a small advantage but we all know the history of Al Ahly and Esperance. History speaks a lot.
“It will be a very open game because I expect the opponent to try to score and we play at home so we need to score. The result is what matters the most and not how we play. In the end, we want to go through.”
On whether Al Ahly are already in the final, the South African tactician said: “We will cross the bridge when we come to it. We cannot talk now about the final now. The biggest mistake for a coach is to talk about the final while he still has a game to play.” Mosimane said: “Al Ahly fans are an important and decisive factor in the matches, but the team has not played any African match with fans since last season.
“I hope to see them in the stands because they are the 12th player in Al Ahly.”
