Al Ahly head coach Marcel Koller was critical of his team despite qualifying for the CAF Champions League semi-finals this weekend. SLInt MORE:
The Red Devils and Raja Casablanca played to a goalless draw in the second leg of their quarter-final in Morocco on Saturday night.
“The match was tough as expected, and we were poor in the first half because the players lacked confidence in their ability to exchange passes and possess the ball, especially with constant pressure from Raja players. “Raja's playing style in the first half forced us to retreat because they were fierce and didn't leave us space to pass. We lost the ball quickly and didn't have the courage to move forward as we usually do, but we improved in the second half.
“Raja was more dangerous against us from some set-pieces and the penalty they missed, but they did not create any danger from open play, and generally, it's good that I gained experience from playing in these conditions.
