<\/div>\nMedeama coach Evans Adotey says his Ghanaian side will take the game to African champions Al Ahly and not merely defend in Saturday\u2019s TotalEnergies CAF Champions League clash.<\/p>\n
The maiden group stage continental campaigners relish the opportunity to test themselves when they meet Al Ahly\u2019s array of superstars like Percy Tau and Ali Maaloul.<\/p>\n
But asked if Medeama will simply absorb pressure against the African elite, Adotey responded: \u201cWe know Al Ahly\u2019s strength yet won\u2019t solely rely on defence \u2013 we\u2019ll also attack.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adotey acknowledges the scale of the task facing West African upstarts Medeama on their looming Cairo odyssey. \u201cAl Ahly are number one in Africa,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
However, the coach kept his tactical plans under wraps while promising to select an XI tailored to spring a shock on Al Ahly\u2019s imposing home turf.<\/p>\n
Adotey does expect a bumper partisan atmosphere given Al Ahly\u2019s colossal fanbase. But he stressed neither the venue nor intimidating support will faze determined Medeama.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re ready to meet Al Ahly in any stadium. There\u2019ll be no difference between playing here or elsewhere,\u201d insisted Adotey.<\/p>\n
Having studied Al Ahly\u2019s recent attacking form, the coach understands shackling their forward weapons shapes as the primary defensive focus.<\/p>\n
Yet Adotey maintains this will only form part of Medeama\u2019s bold blueprint to rattle Africa\u2019s pre-eminent force in their own backyard.<\/p>\n
Rather than worship defeated before kick-off, the minnows from Ghana promise to take the game to formidable Al Ahly on Saturday.<\/p>\n
