Is Gor Mahia Coach Hassan Oktay already throwing in the towel ahead of Kogallo’s crunch tie against Algerian Side Hussein Dey?
The Turkisy cypriot has admitted that Hussein Dey is a tough side and that they will not have it easy when they face them.
The Algerian side currently leads Group D with four points collected from two games, a point more than K’Ogalo, who have played two matches as well.
“Hussein Dey is a very organized team, and they play using the European system. I have watched them severally and one thing I know is that it is not going to be easy for us. Getting a point from Zamalek, away, is not a mean achievement and that tells you something about them.
“They have good players, who play in the national team, meaning they have massive experience within them. It is going to be an interesting match for sure, but a tough one as well,” Said Oktay.
Oktay also confirmed that defender Joash Onyango could miss the match due to injury sustained during their league match against Western Stima. “Yes, we are preparing well, everyone is available apart from Joash Onyango, who was injured on Wednesday.
“He has not been ruled out of the game, he will be assessed later on but everyone else is pushing hard to get a chance to play on Sunday.
“Our intention is to win all our home matches and we must do that on Sunday. We did it against Zamalek when everyone thought it was impossible and I can assure you that we will triumph here. The key objective is to reach the quarters and we are firmly on course.”
