Boukhreiss: "Our Ambition Doesn't Stop at Quarter-Finals, We Aim for Champions League Semifinals"
Tayeb Boukhreiss, defender for Renaissance Berkane, affirmed his team's ambition to continue their journey deep into the CAF Champions League, ahead of their quarter-final first leg clash against Sudan's Al-Hilal.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Boukhreiss stated: "Reaching the Champions League quarter-finals is a very special moment; participating in this competition is every player's dream. Our ambition doesn't stop here; rather, we seek to continue the adventure and qualify for the semi-finals, especially since Renaissance Berkane now possesses a prestigious continental reputation and a prominent standing in the heart of Africa."
He added: "We focused our preparations on all levels, both technical and physical. We believe in our capabilities and possess all the elements to return with a positive result that serves our interests in the second leg."
Boukhreiss continued: "In truth, we don't need additional motivators; the value of the Champions League and the prestige of the opponent give us great self-motivation to deliver our best. All we hope for is to be at our peak readiness and concentration throughout the match."
It is worth noting that Renaissance Berkane will host Al-Hilal on Saturday, starting at 10:00 PM (GMT), at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane.
