CAF CC: Dreams FC coach Karim Zito anticipates ‘difficult’ second leg challenge against Zamalek

Karim Zito, head coach of Dreams Football Club, anticipates a tougher battle in the upcoming second leg clash against Egypt’s SC Zamalek than their initial encounter.

In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Zito emphasized the heightened difficulty of the second leg, slated to unfold at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday, April 28 at 16:00 GMT.

Dreams FC enters the match following a goalless draw with Zamalek in Egypt, a game where Zamalek’s Portuguese head coach Jose Gomes expressed regret over his team’s missed opportunities.

With Dreams FC requiring a win to secure qualification to the CAF Confederation Cup final in their debut tournament appearance, Zito stressed the importance of approaching the game with utmost focus.

“We had a meeting before the start of our training, acknowledging that this stage we are going to play is more challenging than the first stage and is more open, so it’s not about us holding back. We are going all out to score but with caution,” Zito affirmed.

Dreams FC boasts top goal contributors in John Antwi and Abdul Aziz Issah, adding firepower to their lineup for the crucial second leg encounter.
