Ghana football legend Mohammed Polo has urged Dreams FC to eschew ahead of their crucial CAF Confederation Cup semifinals clash this weekend.
The Still Believe lads are close to clinching their maiden continental title. After holding Zamalek to a pulsating goalless draw in Cairo in the first leg, the Ghanaian FA Cup champions heads into the return leg with the advantage.
Dreams FC will take the 2019 champions at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday at 4pm and are aiming for a positive results to book a place in the final of the Egyptian powerhouse.
Speaking to the media, Polo entreated Dreams FC not to be complacent ahead of the return fixture in Kumasi.
“There shouldn’t be any complacency in the game that they are going play. Although, they did well in Cairo but it doesn’t guarantee them qualification. The result in Egypt has given them some confidence going into the second leg because each team has holds the advantage at home”
“Dreams defended very well. The defensive approached helped in preventing Zamalek from scoring a goal. Dreams FC had a clear chance to score there but they failed to utilize. Its about doing away with complacency and Dreams are good to go. Zamalek is not a team to be scared off” he added.
Zamalek arrived in Kumasi on Thursday with a chartered flight to continue their preparation for the crucial encounter.
The Egyptian outfit will train at the match venue 24 hours before kickoff as mandated by the competition's rule and regulations.
The match holds immense significance for Dreams FC, as they aim to become the first Ghanaian side in two decades to reach the final of the Confederation Cup. The last time a Ghanaian team achieved this feat was in 2004 when Hearts of Oak and Kotoko faced off in the final, with Hearts emerging victorious.
