Medeama SC coach Evans Adotey is optimistic about his side’s chances of excelling in the 2023/24 CAF Champions League despite the presence of big guns in the competition.
Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly won the competition for an historic 11th time this season and would be present in the 60th edition of the competition which Medeama have also qualified to play in.
Marcel Koller’s Red Devils will not be the only titans in the competition as South Africans Sundowns, Moroccans Wydad Athletic Club, Zamalek, Young Africans and several other top clubs will be in the competition along with the newly-crowned Ghanaian champions.
Head coach of Medeama, who is a former Manchester United academy trialist – Evans Adotey, is unfazed by the challenge as his side seek to go toe-to-toe with the club.
“Why not? We can also go far in the competition. We can emulate what Ahly and the rest have done in the competition. We are not scared by any of these clubs. It is all about the game plan and commitment of your players. So we are not thinking about whether it is Al Ahly or which ever club. We just believe that we can do it,” he told Enoch Worlanyo on the SportsNite show on Asempa FM.
Medeama won the league title after amassing 60 points from 34 games, dropping 42 points from the available 102 – averaging 1.76 points per game. This ultimately raises question marks about the consistency of the club during the season’s campaign.
