'Al Ahly boss must start Tau in crunch CAFCL tie'
Former Egypt star has now advised Al Ahly head coach Marcel Koller to field Percy Tau, who hasn't played in their recent matches, in their CAF Champions League semi-final encounter against TP Mazembe.
A former Egypt international has urged Al Ahly's manager to"wake up" and start South Africa's Percy Tau in their crunch CAF Champions LeagueThe Red Devils will be looking to book their place in the final of the competition as they aim to win the tournament for a record-extending 12th time, but standing in their way are Congolese heavyweights TP Mazembe.
As such, ex-Pharaohs star Mohamed Salah, not to be mistaken for the Liverpool forward with the same name, has stated that he believes the 11-time CAFCL winners will progress to the final, despite their domestic struggles, adding that Tau, among others, must be included in the action this weekend if they are to do so.
"I have confidence in Al Ahly's victory over Mazembe. This is the advantage of the big teams. They close the file of the previous matches and then focus on the upcoming matches," he said, per "Koller will not be stubborn in the formation again, and he will wake up in the future. He cannot play against Mazembe with the same formation that he played in the Zamalek match.
"Koller's insistence on including Anthony Modeste lowers the morale of the other strikers, and Koller must field Wissam Abu Ali, Reda Slim and Percy Tau in the attacking line against Mazembe."For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
