Ricardo Soares, Al Ahly’s football first team head coach, commented on the team’s goalless draw against Al Mokawloon Al Arab SC on Saturday in the Egyptian Premier League.

In his post-match press conference, Soares talked about the reasons behind the draw along with explaining why Percy Tau was not part of the team’s squad for the game.

“I’m not going to give any details excuses; however, we have played a lot of games in a short amount of time and that doesn’t happen anywhere in the world. Moreover, the referee’s decisions further complicated the game on us.”

“Percy Tau is not match fit yet; therefore, he was not selected for the game. We also have to keep in mind that we have a long list of injuries, which causes us to be cautious when making any decisions.”
