Sami Komsan, Al Ahly’s assistant coach, discussed our 1-0 win over National Bank SC on Sunday night in the Egyptian League. 

“It is an important win ahead of the derby. We were determined to win. Our focus now turns to the Cairo derby on Friday.”

“We faced a strong team. They stood in the back and we changed the game plan in the second half to break their defense. It is our role to deal with different scenarios during the matches.” 

“The league is a marathon and we should not decide what will happen in the competition, depending on our performance in the first two games.”

“Our fans are our backbone and having them back in the stands gives us more motivation.”
