Wydad Casablanca Coach Hails Al Ahly & Tau

Wydad Casablanca Coach Hails Al Ahly & Tau

Al Ahly have extended their record to 11 CAF Champions League titles after thwarting Wydad Casablanca.

Wydad Casablanca coach Sven Vandenbroeck had some special praise for Al Ahly and some of their players.

The Red Devils secured their 11th CAF Champions League title earlier this month after defeating Wydad 3-2 on aggregate in the final.

The title was Ahly's third in the last four years, having made the final for the last successive season although they did lose to Wydad in the final last year.

Nevertheless, Vandenbroeck says that the Egyptian giants are capable of winning Africa's premier club competition every season.

"Al Ahly can win the CAF Champions League every year, and perhaps they are the best team in Africa for long decades," the Wydad coach told On Sports TV.

"They have a large budget, excellent players, and constantly renew the team.

"Winning the title for the 11th time proves that Al Ahly is capable of achieving the CAF Champions League every year.

"If you compare Al Ahly's strength with other teams, you will find that Sundowns has a strong team, and they are the two strongest teams. However, Al Ahly surpasses them in maturity, mentality, experience, while Sundowns excels in playing the modern style, trying to outnumber the opponent all over the field and control the game.

"As for us Wydad, we are happy to reach the Champions League final for the second consecutive time.

"We were not happy with the loss, but we know that winning the title every year is difficult. Look at Manchester City, who won the uefa champions League after many attempts."

"Among the best players of Al Ahly in the first leg was Marwan Attia, who made the game easy for the rest of the players, as well as Hussein El-Shahat and Percy Tau."
