Head coach Marcel Koller and our captain Mohamed El Shenawy spoke to the media today in the pre-match press conference, previewing the upcoming game against Algeria’s CR Belouizdad in Matchday 3 of the CAF Champions League group stage.

“We will face a strong side tomorrow. We met twice last season, and both matches ended in a draw, which reflects the strength of the Algerian team.

“The team needs the fans’ support now more than ever. Their presence tomorrow can truly make a difference.

“While creating opportunities is a good thing, turning them into goals is what truly counts. We’ve worked hard during training to improve this, and we are fully committed to giving our best to achieve victory.”

“We know the importance of the game. Our focus is entirely on winning and moving forward after Pachuca’s match, which left the whole team deeply saddened.”

"Al Ahly fans stand by the team through everything. In tomorrow’s match, we aim to deliver a performance that makes our fans happy."
