What they said

Raja coach Jamal Sellami:

Zamalek is a tough opponent but we will score in Egypt and we will beat them. I know that the game will be tough for us but we are ready for all challenges. My team is not fit physically fit in comparison with Zamalek but I have many experienced players who are capable of making the difference in any moment during the game.

Zamalek coach Jaime Pacheco:

The decision to postpone the game won't affect our concentration as we are ready to play at anytime. CAF's decision will only motivate our players to get the win. We are fully concentrated on the task ahead.
