Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly's head coach, spoke after our game against Pyramids FC on Thursday in the Egyptian Premier League.

"We played 10 against 11 against Esperance, but tonight we could not control the game. You have to accept and move on. Football gives you lessons and this happens to big teams."

"We were very unlucky in two moments tonight. Maaloul missed a penalty and our captain made a big mistake. Unlike last week, as I saw them shined."

"I don’t want us to blame each other. Last week we were happy and tonight we are sad. We need a good spirit, honesty, trust and togetherness to move on. I saw the same mistakes happen in the European Championship and we also saw a big player missing a penalty and the whole nation collapsed, but we must move on."

"I got Egypt’s number one goalkeeper. Tonight you blame Shenawy? No, I stay with my goalkeeper. I stay loyal to El Shenawy who saved us many times. El Shenawy is number one."

"I’m not here to comment about Pyramids, I am here to talk about my team. If Taher scored the two chances he got, it could’ve been a different story. If Maaloul scored, it could’ve been a different story; but football does not work that way."
