Al Rayyan, Qatar. 3rd February 2021. #FIFA #ClubWC #FIFAClubWorldCup
0:00 SOUNDBITE (English): Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly head coach:
(on the standard at the Club World Cup being higher than in Egypt)
“We are here on merit because we deserve to be here and we believe in ourselves, yes, we know that the standard is going to be higher than for us in Egypt. That’s why we are in the World Cup, of course. But we believe that we can win.”
0:26 SOUNDBITE (English): Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly head coach:
(on Al Duhail)
“Of course, the Al Duhail is a good team. We can never, ever underestimate that. It’s not going to be easy. And sometimes people think it’s a free passage for us it’s not the same. They have very good players. They’ve got a few Brazilians, Kenyans and they’ve got a Moroccan who’s played for Juventus at the back. And they’ve got a very, very good team, but we have a good team also. So I think the best team will win.”
1:05 SOUNDBITE (Arabic): Mohamed El-Shenawy, Al Ahly goalkeeper:
(on there being a lot of Al Ahly fans at the stadium)
“Of course, it’s something that makes me happy. For me to see the fans of Al Ahly here, it’s been a long time since I saw our fans last. We’re all waiting for this moment. As soon as we landed in Doha, all the players were so happy that fan received them at the airport. Anyone wishes for their fans to be there at the stadium. Thank God that in these conditions for our fans to be there to support us.”
