Ali Jabr, captain of the Pyramids team, expressed his great pride in the historical achievement of the team by crowning the CAF Champions League 2025, stressing that what the Pyramids system reached despite the modernity of its establishment is the result of a collective and professional work that lacks only two decisive support: the public and the media.
Experience makes the difference
Ali Jabr said during his hosting of the “Nile League Stars” program on Radio On Sport FM, that the presence of players with experience alongside distinguished professionals made a big difference, and allowed the team competing for all tournaments, despite the passage of only 7 years since the establishment of the club, adding: “We create our motives ourselves and our experiences help us to separate the championships.”
The tournament pressures are a demand, not a burden
Jabr considered that the fans’ demand for the team to win the championships from the first day is a positive matter that gives confidence, adding: “This is sweet pressure, not brutal.” He stressed that the team has the most powerful list of players in Africa and not only Egypt, which qualifies it to compete for all titles.
The absence of support affects
Jabr pointed out that the lack of a supportive audience and the weak media coverage are the most prominent of the team, adding: “We try to create our own motives because the story is not just players, but an integrated system, and we miss an audience and a media.”
Reasons for losing local championships
Jabr talked about the reasons for the team’s failure to win the league and the Egyptian Cup last season, noting that there are “external factors” that affected the team’s journey, including the lack of equal opportunities with Al -Ahly, and the choice of inconted timing and stadiums. He also explained that the loss of the cup final against Zamalek came at a difficult time, on the day of the standing of the feast, and in light of the incomplete focus after the African coronation.
Replaced the Croatian coach
Jabr praised the Croatian coach Kronglavauricic, stressing that his continuation gives the stability required to achieve successes, describing it as the “real team fans” who makes motives and enthusiastically played players in training and matches.
African pride and global participation
Ali Jabr expressed his pride with the upcoming participation of Pyramids in the Intercontinental Cup this year and the Club World Cup 2029, describing this as “a historic achievement added to the balance of Egyptian football.” He said, “I hope to be present in the championship, because it is a dream for any player.”
The conclusion with a trust message
The Pyramids captain concluded his speech by confirming the team’s continued competition for all the championships in the new season, confirming his respect for the strength of Al -Ahly and Zamalek, but stressed that “the pole competition is a legitimate right, and the championships are added to our history.”
