Darren Mattox, the Sudanese striker, Al-Merrikh, stressed that facing Al-Ahly will not be easy, especially since the Red Team is going through a wonderful period after winning the African Champions League and finishing third in the Club World Cup.
Darren Mattox is gracious toFilGoal.com: “Al-Ahly is a good team, they have a good coach, and they offer football at a high level.”
He added, “I watched the Al-Ahly match against Bayern Munich and the red team performed more than excellent, so we need to be completely focused in this confrontation and not be afraid of them.”
“We respect all clubs, but we have great potential and we can definitely win,” he added.
The Jamaican striker continued, “Those matches against Al-Ahly and the big teams need you to be courageous and focus on what you do on the field and do your best, as Al-Ahly is the African champion and has great experiences, and of course it will not be an easy match.”
And about playing in the continent of Africa, he said: “Playing in Africa is different for me. I recently moved to Mars after a long period of playing in America, and there is a big difference in the language, the surrounding atmosphere and the style of play, but in the other it is the same football, so you must adapt to all the circumstances surrounding you in order to succeed.” .
“I have played a lot of international matches with the Jamaica national team and I have great experience, so I try to always help my team win and pass my experiences to my teammates and help them on the field,” he said.
And he concluded his remarks, “It is not important who plays, but the most important thing is to win and we offer everything to please the fans. I dream of winning the African Champions League and the Sudanese League will be awarded to Mars.”
On Tuesday, Al-Ahly will play Al-Merrikh of Sudan in the first round of the group stage of the African Champions League.
Al-Ahly is in Group A, with Al-Merrikh, Simba, Tanzania, and Vita Club, the Congolese.
