Al Ahly captain Hossam Ashour said that he and his teammates will fight hard when they face ES Setif in the CAF Champions League semi-final match.
The Red Castle will clash with ES Setif in the semi-final on Stade 8 Mai in Setif, Algeria with a two-goal lead advantage which they achieved earlier this month in the first-leg.
“Our game against ES Setif will be a tough and an important one. Our opponent is strong and their squad includes good players. We’re also expecting to deal with a big number of fans,” Ashour told the press on Monday.
The captain assured that his side is not afraid of ES Setif fans as the players are experienced enough to face such pressure.

“Returning to the FIFA Club World Cup continues to be our biggest dream. The older players in the club are encouraging younger players to aim for this goal.
“We’re eager to win our ninth title especially that we were not able to do so in the past five years,” he concluded.
