Identified! Al Masry coach Nebil Koki says his Kaizer Chiefs counterpart is the one man who can plot their fall in the Caf Confederation Cup tie
Al Masry coach has identified the danger posed by Kaizer Chiefs ahead of this evening’s Caf Confederation Cup clash.
But the potential threat is not on the field of play. It is on the bench.
The Al Masry SC coach Nebil Koki classified Amakhosi coach Ben Youssef as the threat in this tie.
Koki, like Youssef, is of Tunisian descent and it is probably that their footballing coaching philosophy is the same which makes him fear Chiefs under his countryman.
"We know how strong Kaizer Chiefs are, and we are fully prepared. Having Tunisian coach Khalil Ben Youssef leading Kaizer Chiefs adds a level of difficulty to the match,” Koki said as per MISR Connect.
“The start is crucial at this stage of the tournament. We are determined to take all three points."
Koki expects the 27-000-seater Suez Stadium to be paced to the rafters as they start their Confederation Cup sojourn.
"I expect strong support from Al-Masry fans to encourage the players. Our aim is to go as far as possible in the Confederation Cup, starting with advancing from the group.
"Our ambitions are high, and we will defend our chances with full determination. We face some key absences, but we have full confidence in the players to compensate effectively."
The match starts at 6pm.
