Muhiddin backs Police to overturn Al Hilal defeat in CAF CL in Libya

The seasoned tactician says the Law Enforcers have what it takes to turn the tables on Al Hilal and advance to the group stages for the first time ever when the two sides clash on Friday in the return leg in Libya.

“Nothing is impossible. This is football which is a game of many possibilities. Police have the players and the squad to overturn the score line and they just need to study their opponents well and they can win the game,” said Muhiddin.

Muhiddin however says Police FC are yet to regain their last season’s firepower following many departures and new arrivals who are yet to gel.

“Those many changes always affect the team. The new players will take time to understand the coaches philosophy and even understand each other that always has an impact on the team's consistency.”

Muhiddin warns Police FC must be on top of their game if they are to overturn the deficit as Al Hilal are one of Africa’s most consistent performers, having reached the CAF Champions League group stages 12 times in the last two decades.

 “Belief is key to victory team work and being perfect in all departments will earn them victory. Also they need not fear their opponents but respect them,” he added.

The winner of this two-legged tie will advance to the CAF Champions League group stage, joining Africa’s elite.
