Percy Tau has faith in Pitso Mosimane

The Bafana striker has hit the ground running in Egypt. He is scoring spectacular goals and consistently contributing to the Red Devils cause.

“When Al Ahly contacted me, we quickly reached an agreement, and I am grateful for it,” Tau told Al Ahly TV as per Kingfut.

“Al Ahly is one of the biggest clubs in Africa and the world, I am grateful for this opportunity. It feels great to be here. I did not have a problem adapting to my teammates. My ambition is to fill every role I can on the pitch, score more goals and win more trophies.

“I have always thought about representing Al Ahly, with Mosimane being the club head coach I knew he would help me bring out my best. When Al Ahly reached out to me at Brighton, I felt like everyone wanted me at Al Ahly which made me happy.”

Tau remains open to adapting his game despite playing most of his football in Egypt as a striker.

Special player, special goals

He says that the most special goal of his time at Al Ahly so far was his first which came against Ismaily last month.

“It depends on what the coach needs and the circumstances of the match, there are different formations where I am required to fill different roles, I have to adapt to every position,” said Tau.

“My goal against Ismaily is the most important to me because it was my first. The second goal against Ghazl El-Mahalla is the most beautiful, especially that I missed a goal-scoring chance minutes before scoring.

“Al Ahly fans have great demands, so we always have to give our best. The club is used to winning titles, so the fans expect more, and that makes me happy.”
