“There are 90 minutes left, and as long as we still have this chance, there is an opportunity. It is difficult, but not impossible.
“I cannot promise the supporters that I’m going to come back with the Cup. But I say, we will fight to turn the tide.
We have the means to do this because we have already proven it,” said Nabi.
He has admitted that the mission will be difficult, but he retains trust in his players, who he said have what it takes to score and turn the game in their favour.

Looking back at the match, the Tunisian tactician was pleased with the performance of his players but only unhappy that they could not convert their chances.
Nasreddine Nabi’s honest opinion after the match
“We saw that despite the fact that USM Alger is very compact defensively, we managed to create a lot of chances.
We had more than 60 percent possession of the ball against a compact defense and very aggressive players in duels.
This is why I say that nothing is finished. On top of that, we have the culture of scoring away from home,” he said.
