The coach added at the press conference held today, Monday, to talk about the next Smouha meeting in the Egypt Capital Cup: We have to fight to win and stick to the opportunity to qualify, and I hope that the Modern Sport and El Gouna match will come out with a draw, and that Zamalek will win in the Smouha meeting.
Pisero continued: There is a possibility to use a number of basic during the next meeting, not all of them, especially since the team played a match yesterday against the border guards, and the status of the players in the training will be evaluated to determine who can play the Smouha match, and we will choose the best formation to achieve victory, and we will fight until the last moment in the presence of hope for the team even if hope is only 1%.
Pisero continued: I trust in the group in the team and it is not easy to push a large group of players together because of the harmony factor, and I will choose the most suitable 11 players for the next match and there are some things I want to evaluate through today’s training, and it will be difficult to start with the same formation of the border guards match because the players are not ready by 100% to meet Smouha.
And the coach added: We changed details of the way to play against the border guards due to the numerical shortage in the center of the right wing, and we need to choose an appropriate way according to the available players, and it is possible to play with an offensive couple such as yesterday’s meeting, and it is important that we not receive goals in the Smouha meeting.
Pisero commented on the limited time between the two games, saying: We have to stick to hope, and I trust all the players, and that any player wearing the Zamalek shirt has to fight to win.
With regard to the departure of Ahmed Sami, the coach of Smouha before the Wednesday meeting, Bisero said: When the coaches are changed, the new coach seeks to create motives for the players and occurs in all the teams of the world, and sometimes the motives are positive and sometimes they are negative, and most importantly for me we see what we need to implement on the field.
With regard to the stopping period after the Smouha meeting until the first of May, Pisero said: I study the matter with the auxiliary device and there will be rest for the players for several days, but we need time to work and I did not expect when I took over the responsibility to play a match every 4 days, and I need time to develop the way of playing, and we did not reach to master the ways of playing by 60%, and the development of the defensive side is easier and we need a longer period to develop the offensive incision because it needs more training and pressure The matches do not give us an opportunity to put a larger training pregnancy, and at least it is necessary to play 10 training sessions in order for the players to master the way of playing.
Zamalek is preparing to face the Smouha team, scheduled for next Wednesday in the last round of the group stage of the Egypt Capital Cup, and Pisero held the press conference today due to the team’s travel to Alexandria tomorrow to attend in a closed camp in preparation for Smouha’s meeting.
