Bucs Coach, Roger The Star: “What we’ve found is teams like Al Ahly and Zamalek, they are football teams, they play football. “There is no negativity which is quite nice, they compete with you and, you saw against Zamalek, there were no yellow cards. “It’s very similar when we went to Al Ahly, it’s about football. Because it’s played in that spirit, we always have a chance. At this stage of the competition it’s very open, both teams are allowed to play football. “We have to keep playing the way we are playing, I don’t think we are a team that can play for a draw. We have to play attacking football but it will be difficult in the next round, like it is now". De Sa admitted that he still struggles to break teams who come to Orlando to play for a draw. “The nice thing is both teams, Zamalek and Al Ahly, will come at us and we play a lot better when teams open up. “When teams are very cagey like you saw against [AC] Leopards they came here for a point, they celebrated afterwards. We find it difficult to break those teams down. “The same thing will happen for Al Ahly, they will need a result here. Zamalek will need a result at home so it will be an open game so we give ourself a chance.” The Buccaneers have been in fine form in Africa, thumping Egyptian giants Al Ahly 3-0 and Zamalek 4-1 to move three points ahead on top of Group A, with seven points.
