CAF News : De Sa: It’s Going To Be Difficult Orlando Pirates coach Roger de Sa is expecting a tough match when the Buccaneers take on Egyptian side Zamalek in the CAF Champions League Group A match at El Gouna Stadium on Sunday. “It’s going to be a very difficult game. I think Zamalek will be better this time around because they know what to expect from us, but we are ready for them,” With the temperatures expected to be over 40 degrees in Gouna, De Sa said the Buccaneers have prepared for the hot weather as well. “The hot weather won’t be a factor for us because it was 44 degrees when we played Al Ahly there, but we managed to get the results. The reason why we decided to leave early for Egypt, was to help the players to get used to the new climate, so the weather won’t be a problem,” added De Sa. Meanwhile, De Sa revealed that the call on who would start the game between Andile Jali and Lehlogonolo Masalesa will be made on match day. Masalesa played well as Jali’s replacement when the Bafana Bafana midfielder was out injured, but Jali has now fully recovered and is ready to take his place in the centre of the midfield for Pirates. “We’ll select whoever we feel is best suited for the circumstances on the day,” explained De Sa.
