Tunisian tactician Khaled Ben Yahia, at the helm of Mouloudia Algiers, is brimming with determination as his squad gears up to face South Africa’s Orlando Pirates in a do-or-die CAF Champions League clash.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, MC Alger needs a two-goal triumph on enemy turf to book their ticket to the semi-finals, and Ben Yahia is ready to pull out all the stops.
Despite the uphill battle, Ben Yahia remains unfazed. “We will not say that the match will be easy against Orlando Pirates. Everyone saw the level they presented against us at our stadium, but we are going to South Africa to defend our chances,” he told Kooora.
“Nothing is impossible in football. We just have to believe that our chances are still there, and let’s do everything we can to return with a qualification ticket.”
Grateful for the fans’ unwavering support at the training ground and airport, Ben Yahia vowed, “I hope we live up to their expectations and make them happy by qualifying.” The stage is set for a thrilling showdown.
