Zamalek SC head coach Patrice Carteron has explained why it was hard playing against Tusker despite registering a 1-0 victory in the first round of the Caf Champions League on Saturday.
Achraf Bencharki scored the goal that handed the Egyptian Premier League champions the first leg victory, but Carteron insisted they faced a tougher side even though they emerged winners at Nairobi's Nyayo Stadium.
Tough Tusker
"It was a difficult game and we knew facing Tusker was never going to be easy, especially when a lot of their players are playing for the national team. We also did not have time to prepare for this game, so really I am happy how we faced this team," Carteron told Goal.
