The “Boss” Confronts “Black Eagle” in African-Asian Clash Match of Arab Club Champions Cup
The eyes of the loyal fans are set on Zagreb the capital specifically at Maksimir Stadium of Dinamo Zagreb Club New York at 8:00 p.m. Abu Dhabi time local time (06:00 p.m. Zagreb local time) which will be hosting the Asian-African clash match between Al Ain and ES Sétif of Round 32 of the Arab Club Champions Cup. The two teams have already completed their preparations for the coming confrontation Sunday evening in Maksimir Stadium as per the championship regulations.
Al Ain’s first official game this season seems so exceptional, given that the team is in the mid preseason training camp, unlike the Algerian team who earned a very important point when the held Morocco’s Difaâ Hassani d’el-Jadida at draw in the second leg match of the CAF Champions League.
The “Boss” aims to have an impressive kickoff of their new season despite the great challenges they are facing currently. The team is missing a number of key players on top of them is the team captain, Omar Abdul Rahman and the Swedish international player Markus Berg who joined Al Ain camp on Sunday evening. Also, there are doubts of missing certain players due to injury, namely: Mohammed Abdul Rahman and Mohannad El Enezi alongside Hussein El Shahat who joined the team a few days ago.
On the other hand, the Algerian team aspires to take advantage of the negative conditions that their opponent is suffering from mainly in the second leg match when Al Ain will be missing the majority of its players who will join the UAE National Football Team. Therefore, it is expected that Morocco’s Rachid Toussi, head coach of ES Sétif, will adopt the best strategy to gain superiority over Al Ain to ensure qualifying the last 16-team stage of the Arab Club Champions Cup.
