Football can be very funny – Pitso Mosimane
“Just about everybody expects Bayern to win and many pundits are saying the only outstanding issue is the winning margin.” Pitso Mosimane told reporters ahead of the Fifa Club World Cup semi-finals.
“But all the pressure is on the European champions and there is none on Al Ahly. We must enter the field, play with a smile, do our best and hope for a sensational outcome.
“Football can be a very funny game sometimes. Remember what Leicester City did in the English Premier League a few seasons ago? Bayern are the team that defeated a Barcelona side including Lionel Messi 8-2 in the Champions League last season. Who am I? I am just Pitso Mosimane and we are Al Ahly, we aren’t under pressure.
“They have won everything there is to win – all the German trophies plus the Champions League. They have an awesome squad. Bayern have also lifted the Club World Cup trophy before, defeating Raja Casablanca in the 2013 final in Morocco. We can enjoy the moment. It’s them who has to win. We have no pressure. I hope my players go out there and have some fun.”
