Sarr: We can't rest

Cape Town - Orlando Pirates midfielder, Issa Sarr, urged his teammates to fight through the weariness as they prepare for their CAF Confederations Cup clash with Zamalek.

Pirates got their continental campaign off to a positive start weeks ago after securing a 1-0 victory over AC Leopards away from home.

At the Mbombela Stadium, the Sea Robbers will square off against the Egyptian giants in their second clash of group B as they look to maintain their winning start.

"We can't rest. There is no time to rest. We have to keep working because that's the only way we can keep on winning," Sarr told Soccer Laduma.

"It's not easy to play in Africa but we are getting used to the situation and it's working for us," the Senegal-born player added.

Kick-off is at 15:00 on Saturday, July 11.
