Pitsu Musimani, coach of the South African Sun Downs club, expressed his sadness to bid farewell to his team the African Champions League, at the expense of Al-Ahly.
Musimani said in the press conference after the match: “We cannot compete with Al-Ahly, they have Ramadan Sobhi from the English Premier League and Alio Badji who came to them from Rapid Vienna for 2 million euros, their marketing value is high and this difference between us and Al-Ahly, we cannot match them, Zamalek also rose with Al-Ahly because they are two strong teams, Zamalek also has strong players such as Onajim, so he won the Egyptian and African Super.
Al-Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed Al-Shenawi lost his time in the match, Musaimani said: “I cannot change the world. I will not comment on the way El-Shennawi has repeatedly fallen. This is a style of play and I cannot change it.”
