Currently in Egypt for preparations, Bature remains optimistic despite the formidable challenge posed by the record Champions League holders. He acknowledges the high level of Al Ahly but emphasizes that they are all football players, refusing to be overshadowed.
“We are not worried going into Al Ahly’s game. We are all players just that their level is on a high and that how everyone sees it”
Bature states, “Al Ahly is a good team, but we are going to play football and we are not under their shadows.” While acknowledging the difficulty of the upcoming game, he expresses confidence that Medeama is mentally prepared to secure a positive result.
