Marcel Koller, Al Ahly head coach, talked about the team’s preparations for the Egyptian Super Cup game against Zamalek. 

“It will be a strong game and the fans are going to love it. I am happy that we will play in front of a large number of our fans, besides that we will face a strong team like Zamalek.”

“I took responsibility for the team six weeks ago. I still know the abilities of each player during the training. We still have time to improve the team’s performance and to reach the level we want.” 

“Aliou Dieng is a very important player, but we have many good players who can help the team tomorrow.”

“The team is gaining the trust of the fans day by day. I am working on improving the team’s performance and playing beautiful football, but the most important thing is to win. However, winning and playing good makes the fans happy, and this is what any coach wishes.”

“I started my mission with Al Ahly at the end of the transfer market. I did not have the chance to determine the players I want to sign. So I decided to wait to choose the players who will fit with my philosophy.”

“It is not my work to focus on the Egyptian Premier League table. I focus only on each game separately and I do not care about the EPL’s fixtures schedule.”
