Onslaught at Orlando: "Al Ahly" Ready to Face "Pirates"

Coach Marcel Kohler assures "Al Ahly" is prepared to handle the field pressure.

"Al Ahly" head coach Marcel Kohler stated that his team is thoroughly prepared for the expected onslaught from a packed "Orlando" stadium in the upcoming decisive TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Group C match on Saturday. Generally, the Egyptian team dominates with the support of their fans, but this time they'll face the enthusiastic "Pirates" fanbase.

While "Al Ahly" might be outnumbered on the field, their Swiss mentor is confident his squad can withstand the expected pressure at "Orlando Stadium". "It's clear that playing at home and away are different environments. Playing surrounded by your supporters is another game, and we have many backers in Cairo, but we are fully ready for the match tomorrow," he remarked.

"Pirates" boast several impressive attacking players such as Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota, who showcased their skills against "Belouizdad". However, Kohler preferred to avoid naming specific opponents. "We will play against a strong team with many good players. But internally, we've discussed it, and the players will be prepared," he added. The match at "Orlando Stadium" is slated for a 15:00 local time (13:00 GMT) kickoff.
