Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito has expressed his belief that Zamalek SC were taken aback by his team’s game plan during Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup semi-final first leg clash. Zito’s side managed to secure a goalless draw against the Egyptian giants at the Cairo International Stadium.
“They were surprised by our performance levels. When you look at our position in the league, it will give you a different impression of Dreams. They saw us as small boys but before they realized, they had to push and push but could not get the results,” Zito shared with Joy Sports upon their return on Monday afternoon.
Looking ahead to the return leg, Zito disclosed that there will be a change in the game plan compared to the first leg. “I will change the pattern of play anyway. We will not sit back like we did in the first leg because a 1-0 scoreline may not be ideal. We will both have chances but the advantage we have is that we are playing at home and they won’t have the 12th man behind them in Kumasi,” he explained.
Dreams FC is set to hold two training sessions in Accra before departing on Wednesday evening. The highly anticipated return leg will take place at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, April 28 with kick-off scheduled for 16:00GMT. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Dreams FC can secure a historic victory and advance to the final of the CAF Confederation Cup.
