"We are preparing for the match well and focusing on the first-leg match tomorrow only, and we wish success from God to present a match worthy of the expected public attendance," El-Shenawy said, as per the club's official website.
"The mass presence in the Sudanese Al-Hilal match impressed us, and we hope to make them happy tomorrow and come out of the match with a positive result that will help us prepare for the return match in Morocco well."
He concluded, "Al-Ahly does not fear any competitor, but Al-Ahly respects any competing team, whether from North Africa or elsewhere.
"Respect for the opponent is reflected in our preparation for the match, as is the norm for all our confrontations in Africa.
