Krunoslav Jurčić, the coach of Pyramids, confirmed that the match against Rivers United in the African Champions League is important despite having secured qualification for the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Pyramids will face Rivers United tomorrow, Sunday, as part of the fifth round of the group stage in the CAF Champions League.

In the pre-match press conference, Jurčić explained that the match is important because Pyramids is strongly competing for the top of the group, emphasizing that his team will play the match to achieve victory.

He pointed out that his team is suffering from injuries and some players have been given rest, but this will not prevent the team from striving for victory. He noted that the match is an important opportunity to involve several players who have not participated regularly in recent times.

Yurčić also mentioned that Pyramids is suffering from the pressure of matches, as the team has played a large number of domestic and continental encounters in a short period, which has affected the players' physical condition.

In conclusion of his statements, the coach renewed his full confidence in the striker Fiston Mayele, despite his recent goal drought, and affirmed that he is an influential player who has contributed a lot to the team.
