Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane stated that we achieved an important win tonight over El Entag El Harby in the Egyptian Premier League.
Al Ahly’s 4-1 victory sent us back to the top of the EPL table.
“There were many miss passes in the final third, but our defense and midfield were solid and we succeeded to score four goals.”
“In football, you cannot predict when you will score the goal, as the team scored in the first half in my first four matches as a manager. There is no problem in scoring in the second half. It is normal and we need to accept it.”
“We concentrate on scoring more goals from set-pieces in the training. Our opponents analyze our playing style very well, but we depend on several strategies to score goals.”
“We are keen to give the players, who are not fully fit, the opportunity to play. We substituted Benoun by Rabia to give him playing time, and we did the same with Saad Samir in the previous game.”
“Also, Hany joined the game after being cured of Covid-19, while Hamdy Fathy left the pitch to avoid injuries.”
“We are working to raise the fitness level of some players in the team in order to reach the FIFA Club World Cup and the CAF Champions League group stage in best shape.”
“We informed the players about our plan for the substitutions ahead of the game.”
“We succeeded to win the game and also to prepare the players, especially those who were sidelined for a long time.”
