CAF Confed. Cup: Stage fright did not affect Dreams FC players
Karim Zito
Dreams FC head coach, Karim Zito, has refuted claims that his team’s defeat against Zamalek SC was due to stage fright.
The FA Cup champions were knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup after a 0-3 loss in Kumasi on Sunday, April 28.
Before the return leg at the Baba Yara Stadium, Dreams offered free entry to the match.
Zito, speaking after the game, dismissed the idea that his players were overwhelmed by pressure from fans’ expectations.
“It’s not stage fright; if that was the case, it would have affected us in Cairo. My boys never thought we could get into this situation. In Cairo, the atmosphere was bigger than today” said the head coach.
Dreams will now focus on finishing the Ghana Premier League season strongly and aim to reclaim the FA Cup title, starting with a quarterfinal tie against Soccer Intellectuals.
