Joseph Tetteh Zutah, a former midfielder for Medeama, has confidently stated that the club is entering their inaugural CAF Champions League campaign without any burdensome expectations.
As the Mauve and Yellow prepare to embark on their first-ever journey in the tournament, they are set to face fellow newcomers, Remo Stars of Nigeria, in the opening leg of the preliminary clash.
The much-anticipated match is scheduled to take place at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday, August 20.
Speaking about the upcoming challenge, 28-year-old Zutah, who impressively led the team as captain for an extensive six-season period, shared his insights with Radio Gold Sports.
“The CAF inter-club competition we have played before so we are not new to the terrain and it doesn’t put much pressure on us irrespective of the fact that we are playing home first before traveling to Nigeria.
“We are aware of the opponent and we have done a couple of checks on them and we know that financially they have the backing and they play good football but that notwithstanding our men are equally up to the task, hopefully we will deliver.
“We are not putting any pressure on the club neither are we putting pressure on the players. They know the competition they are in and they hope to make names for themselves individually and for the club as well.”
