The coach of Esperance de Tunis, Nabil Maaloul, is expressing his determination to win the African Champions League at home against Al Ahly in Radès. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 p.m.
In his statement, Coach Maaloul outlines his tactical approach for the game. He expects his players to prevent Al Ahly from gaining control and plans to isolate their attack from the opposing midline. The team will deploy a higher defensive block than usual to create more scoring opportunities. Maaloul emphasizes that playing for a draw (0-0) is not an option, deeming it too risky.
He reminds his players of the narrow loss by a goal in the previous encounter in Alexandria and urges them to focus on one objective: winning. Maaloul stresses the importance of imposing their style on the match to secure victory and a ticket to Japan. He concludes by emphasizing that a final is won, not just played, echoing his statement from a year ago before the final against Wydad in Casablanca.
The coach’s words reflect the team’s strong determination to claim the title and highlight the importance of a proactive and assertive approach in the quest for victory.
