Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito believes Zamalek SC were surprised by his game plan in Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup semi-final first leg.

Zito's side held the Egyptian side to a goalless draw at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.

‘‘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 it (the results)," Zito told Joy Sports following their arrival on Monday afternoon.

Ahead of the return leg, Zito revealed that the game plan for the first leg would be changed.

"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 concluded.

Dreams will hold two training sessions in Accra before leaving on Wednesday evening.

The return leg will be staged at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, April 28 with kick-off scheduled for 16:00GMT.
