Johnson knows it will be a massive task to record a win in front of the fervent
fans at the Stade Olympique de Sousse, especially after their recent first
round victory over CARA Brazzaville to qualify for this stage of the
competition.
“"You
can see how important it is for Etoile Sahel when they play at home," says
Johnson.
“They
have an impressive record in this competition and it’s important for us to stay
composed throughout and get the job done. I feel that It's good for us to play
the second leg at home, but for sure you need to get a great result to qualify,
that's why we need to get a result in the first game by playing our game and
come back home with something to fight for. “
