Berekum Chelsea coach demands more from players

Berekum Chelsea coach Hans Van der Pluijm says his players must double up efforts if they are to win the 2012 CAF Champions League.

The Dutchman ensured his side overcame a poor first performance to earn a respectable 2-2 with TP Mazembe on Sunday in Lubumbashi.

The 2011 Ghanaian champions, making their debut in the continent's flagship inter-clubs competition, are yet to lose a match after two rounds of games.

Chelsea's next assignment will be against six-time winners Al Ahly in Cairo on August 4.

"Everything is open and it is up to us to show that," Van der Pluijm said in a post match interview.

"We played a very good second half and everything is dependent on the determination and confidence and we can show that in our next match."

Chelsea are now in second place in Group B; two points behind leaders Al Ahly.
