‎‏Sayed Abdelhafiz, Al Ahly’s director of football, expressed his happiness following our 2-1 victory over Al Masry SC on Tuesday in the Egyptian Premier League.

In his post-match interview, Abdelhafiz talked about the team’s victory, our overwhelmed schedule of games, and the impressive appearances of several of our players during today’s encounter.

“Aside from achieving an important three points, we can take away a lot of positives from today’s match. First of all, I liked the players’ dedication and commitment to seal a precious victory during the difficult period which we are currently in.”

“Moreover, we are delighted to have Mohamed Hany back. Also, we are happy with Ahmed Nabil Koka and Saad Samir’s amazing performances during today’s match.”

“On a different note, having such a condensed schedule of games in a short period does not provide us with equal opportunities compared to the rest of the teams in the league.”

“Furthermore, any competition in the world of football needs to provide all teams with equal chances. For example, the CAF Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup give equal opportunities to all the participating teams.”

“Al Masry SC’s team had 10 days to prepare for today’s encounter, while our team plays every three days. We didn’t experience anything like this before.”

“I am afraid that such a schedule negatively impacts us when we play in the CAF Champions League.”

“Finally, I would like to thank the players for their dedication and commitment during such a difficult period. We will now focus on our upcoming league game against El Gouna FC.”
