Ahmed Abdel -Raouf Najm confirmed Zamalek Previous, the white team respected Al-Ahly a lot and prepared well for that confrontation under the leadership of Jose Pisero, noting that Marcel Koler was surprised by the 3-4-3 playing method, and I was afraid of this method as he faces a team that owns an offensive ferocity like Al-Ahly.
Ahmed Abdel -Raouf’s statements
Ahmed Abdel -Raouf said in television statements: Salah al -Din Mossadak is a good defender and presented a distinguished level during the meeting, and if Zamalek was trained in that way for a long time, it could have achieved victory today .. But due to the circumstances that the team went through recently, the tie is a good thing But the establishment of a closed camp is calculated for the technical staff, and also the presence of Abdullah Al -Saeed, defensively and offensive, presented a wonderful level.
He added: I was hoping that Zamalek would benefit more than fixed balls, the white team was dangerous in those games, including the game Dunga and Hussam Abdel Majid, it is calculated a lot for Jose Pesero well prepared and plays in that way in the summit meeting.
He continued: Pisero trained the players well in that way, while Al -Ahly was playing with the two backs, they were most of the time outside the offensive situation, and the red team did not succeed in exploiting the space behind the two backs .. and I was surprised by what is said that Al -Ahly would achieve a great victory, because the team is far from its level Technical 7 games, except for the Ismaili meeting.
Abdel -Raouf went on: The back line headed by Mossadik and Abdel Majeed played manly, and they were one of the stars of the meeting, and the players of Zamalek were under great pressure and they were playing the easy, and there is a big problem from Kuller in managing the big matches, where he fears the risk or adventure in those confrontations.
Abdul Raouf: I was a supporter to change the way Al -Ahly play
He added: “I was supportive of changing the way Al-Ahly played, with many injuries and absences, as well as the way the team played for 3-5-2 in some matches was good, and I see that Ahmed Reda was the best in the 6th position, and Zamalek surprised Kuller the way he played.
He explained: Zamalek has a problem with the cabares, and the team cannot compete for all the championships, which is also taken on Kuller is that it is retreating to the middle of its stadium after it is scored. Others happen in the same matter, Al -Ahly records, and then a Ceramica meeting in the Egyptian Super.
He added: The Norwegian referee was good in the overall, but he erred in calculating some matters against Zamalek, including a warning of Shehata, in addition to calculating a free kick for Imam Ashour on the left front.
Abdel -Raouf praised the ethics of the Moroccan star Ashraf Bin Sharqi, stressing that he is a successor player and respects the fans, hoping that the culture of respecting the opponent will be available to all players and fans in Egypt.
