Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) are just 90 minutes away from progressing to the group stages of the 2017 Total CAF Confederation Cup.
After a last gasp victory against Al Masry in the first leg played last weekend at Phillip Omondi Stadium, Uganda’s only continental representatives, KCCA FC carry a 1-0 lead ahead of the return leg due this Saturday at Ismailia Stadium.
Team manager Mike Mutebi insists there will not be change in tactics but his team will stick to the KCCA FC style of play which is being offensive.
The tactician believes they need to stick to the way they have been playing because it has been yielding results.
We are not going to Egypt to defend the first leg score. We shall always play our way which is to use the ball smartly and create chances
He told www.kccafc.co.ug before indicating that it is Al Masry that are under pressure at the moment.
I do not think they will play the way they played here trying to waste time. I know they will come out to attack therefore we must utilize this chance to punish them
The manager also noted that it is important for KCCA FC to remain on the continent to fulfill one of their long-term goals of developing a formidable club.
It is important for us to proceed to the group stages because it will help our players improve. You realize that there is a change in attitude, mentality and mindset from the 5 games we have so far played
