Davids wary of Al Ittihad strengths!
“Our analysts have already done the work and we already have some details in relation to the team.” – Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids told reporters.
“They are definitely a better team so far if you compare them to JS Saoura that we faced, so they are really a tough opponent that we face.
“What is familiar is that it is the same stadium that we played last season, Aal Ahly Benghazi, so we know where we are going, we know the type of pitch, it is an artificial pitch.
“It is just now to finalize the finer details of the team and how they play, how Orlando Pirates can approach the game but it will definitely be a tough game coming up.
“We know our issues in the first round. This is really the first time now that we have 95% – 98% of player availability. Everyone is back and fighting. You can see the difference in training where everybody is there fighting,”
