Ahmed Ayoub, coach, confirmed Al-Ahly Previously, the red team played a good match against Orlando Pirates, and coach Marcel Kohler thought logically and rationally in light of the pressure of matches during the coming period, indicating that the coach is thinking well about the current stage, especially the group stage of the African Champions League.
Statements of the former Al-Ahly coach
Former Al-Ahly coach Ahmed Ayoub said in television statements: Al-Ahly is accustomed to qualifying for the next rounds, and the draw for the team against Orlando was satisfactory, and the chances of the two teams were not as serious as required over the course of the 90 minutes. In 2013, Al-Ahly and Orlando were together in the same group and advanced to the final, where the team was crowned. Red at the end.
He added: Al-Ahly achieved several gains despite the draw with Orlando, including the recovery of the Abu Ali medal and the participation of Reda Selim, in addition to the readiness of other players, and the exit of all members of the team without injuries, and it certainly does not make sense to achieve victory in all the matches, and everyone within the Al-Ahly club is well aware of this.
He continued: I see that Reda Slim and Percy Tao in the recent period, their minds are not with Al-Ahly club, and Tao started playing individually and thinking about himself, and it is clear that psychologically he is suffering from a clear crisis, while the Moroccan winger is a good player, but he has not been registered with the team yet, and he plays at intervals and as a professional. He must have a real addition, which has not happened so far.
The former Al-Ahly coach continued: It is clear that Reda Selim is not implementing the instructions required by Marcel Kohler, and the evidence is that there are players who were away and participated continuously after adhering to the technical instructions, the last of whom is Taher Mohamed Taher, who implements the defensive and offensive aspects in the required manner, even if Reda Selim’s mental state continues. And Percy Tao, it is possible that Kohler will ask to change the duo and include others.
When asked about Al-Ahly’s needs for deals in the upcoming Club World Cup, Ayoub said: The team needs a strong, fast spearhead who possesses individual solutions, with the necessity of including another defender next to Yasser Ibrahim and Rami Rabia, and I have not seen Ashraf Darry yet to say that he can be relied upon, in addition. Due to the necessity of including a distinguished winger, unlike the current ones, Al-Ahly does not need players in the midfield.
He added: The team includes distinguished elements, including Akram, Koka, Al-Soulia, and Marwan Attia, and the midfielders opposite Orlando, Akram and Marwan, played a wonderful tactical role in that confrontation.
Regarding the comparison between Maaloul and Attiya Allah, he quickly responded: Certainly for Maaloul when he is in his technical and physical condition. Yahya Attiya Allah is a good player and with time he will make a difference with Al-Ahly because he is committed defensively, but the offensive aspects need to develop his performance. We hope for Maaloul’s return in the coming period.
