"From today we will work on intensive training for the match against Al Ahly,"
"Our goal is to win the tournament, and we know that it is a burden on us. But we are excited and want to end the season by winning our sixth title.
"Of course, we have our way of playing, with which we were able to win many matches. Our first goal is to win this match, but it is important to always keep your eyes on the opponent."
"Al Ahly is a team that wants to play well and plays in different ways in attack. They play with two offensive full-back.
"The coach is great. I sat with him for a short time, but I like his style very much," he concluded.
Pitso Mosimane
has an ideal record so far since being at the helm of Al Ahly in October of a year ago, with 18 wins and four draws in his 22 games.
