Ahead of their crucial CAF Confederation Cup semi-final clash against Zamalek, Dreams FC intensifies their preparations by focusing on penalty shootouts during training sessions in Kumasi.
Coach Karim Zito ensures that the team is well-prepared for all scenarios, including the possibility of the match extending to penalties.
With the first leg ending in a goalless draw in Cairo, where Zamalek had the upper hand in chances created, Dreams FC recognizes the importance of a strong performance to avoid elimination.
Understanding that a win will guarantee their progression to the final for the first time, while a scoring draw would be sufficient for Zamalek to advance, the team leaves no stone unturned in their preparations.
Coach Zito affirms the team's readiness for penalty shootouts, stating, "You watched the training yourself, we ended with penalty shootouts and out of the twenty-four (24) players only three (3) of them could not score, so we are ready if it gets to penalties.
Let me say that we are hoping to go in on Sunday and secure qualification in regulation time," during an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
He emphasizes the collective effort of Dreams FC in representing Ghana in continental competitions and calls for support from fans, including those of Kotoko and Hearts of Oak, as they strive to reclaim Ghana's prominence in African football.
