CAF Confederation Cup: Stage fright did not affect my players - Dreams FC coach Karim Zito

Dreams FC coach, Karim Zito has refutes claims suggesting that his players succumbed to defeat against Zamalek SC due to stage fright.

The FA Cup champions were eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup following their 0-3 loss in Kumasi on Sunday, April 28.

Ahead of the return leg game at the Baba Yara Stadium, Dreams announced free entry to the stadium.

Speaking after the game, Zito dismissed the assertion that his players were under pressure to perform due to the expectations of the fans.

"It’s not stage fright, if that was the case, it would have affected us in Cairo," said the head coach after the game.

"My boys never thought we could get into this situation. In Cairo, the atmosphere was bigger than today."

Dreams will now turn their attention to finishing the Ghana Premier League season on a high while also trying to reclaim the FA Cup title this season with a quarterfinal tie against Soccer Intellectuals on the cards.
