Wydad coach: Facing Safi is difficult
Wydad Athletic Club coach Mohamed Amin Benhashem said that facing Olympique Safi in the first leg of the African Confederation Cup quarter-finals, on Sunday, will be strong, given the strength of the future team and its way of playing.
Benhashim stressed in the press conference that preceded the match that confronting the Misfioui team in its home field will not be easy, given its ferocity and strength, and also thanks to the support of its fans, but that will not prevent Wydad from wanting to achieve a positive result.
Benhashem explained that the preparations were comprehensive, and continued: โWe have prepared our plans that we will rely on tomorrow, in the absence of the referees Ziyech and Noureddine Amrabat, who are considered among the best in our team. In the past matches, we tried to find solutions without them, and in the Tawarka match we provided reliable solutions, waiting for their return.โ
He continued: "Our results have been positive so far, and we have a clear plan for the match tomorrow. We aspire to achieve a positive result that gives us the advantage before the return match. We will do our best to do so."
For his part, Tunisian Shukri Al-Khatti, coach of Olympique Safi, said that his team is in the best state of physical and technical readiness, and has prepared well for this confrontation in order to achieve the best results, especially in front of the teamโs fans.
Al-Khatwi stressed: "We seek to win the three points and exploit our tactical and physical capabilities to keep up with our opponent. Every match in the African Championship requires focus and discipline, and we are ready for all scenarios."
The Tunisian coach concluded: โAfrican confrontations have a special taste. Despite the negative results in the tournament, we look forward to continuing the journey in this tournament despite the strong competition with a team that has experience.โ
