CAIRO: Ittihad coach Taha Basri hopes for a “psychological win when his struggling team takes on former club ENPPI in the Egyptian Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Basri, who enjoyed the most successful era of his career at ENPPI two seasons ago, is battling to save Ittihad from relegation in the league.
Our primary objective is to survive in the premier division this season, but a win in the cup would help psychologically, he told FilGoal.com.
I think it could be a confidence boost if we reached the semi-finals, but the league is more important for us.
The Alexandria giants are rock bottom in the league with 13 points from 18 games, only four points off the safe zone.
