CAPE TOWN – Wydad Athletic coach Faouzi Benzarti hailed Kaizer Chiefs’ “unbelievable defence” after his team was knocked out of the CAF Champions League competition at the FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.
Chiefs came into Saturday evening’s second leg semi-final with a 1-0 advantage after their triumph in Casablanca last week. Chiefs needed a mere draw to grab a slot in the final of Africa’s most elite club competition.
Benzarti explained his philosophy as a coach, and it was always his objective to have his team playing “enjoyable” football.
“Football is a game to enjoy, and I’ve always set out to make the game as enjoyable as possible,” said Benzarti. “Tonight we didn’t win, and we are all disappointed.
“I want to congratulate Kaizer Chiefs and wish them good luck in the final.”
