The former Sudanese Al-Merreikh player, Ahmed Adam Bebo, explained that facing Al-Ahly of Egypt in the African Champions League is very difficult, and commented on the Sudanese Al-Merreikh group in the tournament, which includes the Sudanese Al-Hilal, Al-Ahly and Sun Downs, as “the group of death.”
Ahmed Bebo said in statements to the Sudanese newspaper, “Kfarwater”, “The draw was balanced, but I consider that we are in the group of death, because it is very strong because Al-Ahly of Egypt is the best team in Africa, and it is known to everyone, next to Sun Downs, which is a respectable team and has its position and great potential. He reached the final stages in the previous editions, and won the title in 2016.”
The ceremony of drawing the draw for the African Champions League, which was held on Tuesday, resulted in the placement of Al-Marikh in the first group, accompanied by Al-Ahly and Sun Downs of South Africa, in addition to his compatriot Al-Hilal of Sudan.
The Sudanese star added: “Al Mars will seek to enhance its chances, in order to resolve the qualification from the group stage despite the difficulty of the group, which also includes a difficult confrontation against the traditional rivals Al Hilal Sudanese in the African Championship.”
The Egyptian Zamalek had signed in Group D alongside Moroccan Wydad, Angolan Petro Atlético and compatriot Sagrad Esperanza, which is a group that is relatively easier than facing Al-Ahly of Egypt in Sudan or also South Africa.
