Lamirat: "Olympique Safi Clash Holds Special Significance, Wydad Prepared for Positive Outcome"
Wydad AC player Abdeghafour Lamirat affirmed that the upcoming match against Olympique Safi, in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals, holds a special significance for him, given his previous stint with the Safi-based team.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Lamirat stated: "This match has a special flavor for me because I previously played for Olympique Safi and had a very good period there. I want to thank the club and the fans, and I wish them success, both in the league and in African competitions."
He added: "This is the nature of football; today you might face a team you played for previously. However, our focus is now entirely on the team we belong to, which is Wydad AC."
The player continued: "We are well-prepared for this match, and we know that playing in Safi will not be easy, especially against a strong team on their home ground. However, nothing is impossible for a big team like Wydad."
Wydad AC will be hosted by Olympique Safi at Stade El Massira tomorrow, Sunday, with the match kicking off at 10:00 PM.
