CAFCC: Al Masry coach Kouki reveals key target against ZESCO United

Al Masry coach Nabil Kouki admitted his side is wary of the fact that ZESCO United is playing at home but will be confident of reaping maximum points during their matchday two of the CAF Confederation Cup in Zambia.

Speaking during the pre-match press conference for the Group D match between United and Al Masry of Egypt, Kouki explained the key to winning the match for his team would be maximum concentration.

“Zesco United is playing at home and they have some experience in CAF competitions but as Al Masry we will not lose sight of our target which is to get maximum points,” he told the media. “To get the three points we need to concentrate and use our experience. Experience matters in these kind of games.”

Al Masry ready and looking forward for ZESCO test

Al Masry player Mugisha Bonheur maintained the Egyptians are in Zambia to win. He further said the players are not worried about ZESCO’s impregnable home record against Egyptian sides but would be aiming for victory.

“We know that Zesco United is one of the big teams here in Zambia, but we are ready and looking forward to the game. We are coming here to play some good football and to win,” said Bonheur.

“We did not know that Zesco has never lost a match at home to Egyptian opposition but it is going to be a good game for both teams and hope we win. I got a chance to watch them, they are a good team, they have home ground advantage but we are ready to win.”

ZESCO will host Al Masry at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Friday.
