CAFCC: Hunt promises changed Stellenbosch against Belouizdad

Coach Gavin Hunt has promised to unleash a changed Stellenbosch FC when the South Africans host CR Belouizdad on Sunday.

The PSL award-winning coach made the promise on Saturday during a post-match press conference for the CAF Confederation Cup Group C clash against the Algerians.

The MTN8 semifinals lost 2-0 to the Algerian Ligue 1 opponents last weekend.

Ahead of the rematch, Hunt said was optimistic of registering his first victory with the Maroons on the continental stage.

“…In Algeria, I thought they were better than us on the night and physically stronger,” the coach told the Stellenbosch website.

“Did we have chances? Yes, and we certainly could have done better in that department, but I think the travelling took a lot out of us because we didn’t look ourselves.”

The veteran mentor added that he was confident that the Stellies will show their true attacking character in the home fixture.

“I’m sure we’ll be a different team on Sunday, that’s for sure. We’re always trying to improve and looking ahead, and a lot of new players have come in, so there will be a few changes for this match,” he said.

“I enjoy CAF and think it’s important for South African players to go as far as possible in the competition.”
