Al Ahly stars are wary of Sundowns in knockout round- Mosimane
Al Ahly South African coach Pitso Mosimane says Some of Al Ahly Legends are worry about the possibility of getting drawn against Mamelodi Sundowns on Caf Champions League Quarter Finals. I told them I need Mamelodi Sundowns, the group stages form is totally different from the Knockout stage. In Knockout stages we are not collecting points, we are sending people home . In the past we have seen teams or nations who did well in group stages getting sent home in Knockout stages by the ones who did not do well in group stages. For example here in Egypt 2019, Egypt was kicked out of their AFCON last 16 stage by Bafana Bafana who finished 3rd best in their group. Despite Egypt winning all their group stages matches. Also Morocco who did well in their group was sent packing by Benin who finished 3rd best in their group . Portugal finished 3rd best in their group of Euro2016, and guess what today they are Champions. I need Sundowns as soon as possible, I am a very experienced coach, our group form has nothing to do with our Knockout stages prospects. We will win and defend our title.
