German Matthias Jaisse, coach of Al-Ahly’s first football team, met with Portuguese Rui Pedro, the club’s sporting director, where they discussed ways to strengthen the team’s ranks during the upcoming winter transfer period. The meeting that took place on Friday comes in the wake of the draw that the team achieved against Riyadh in the seventh round of the Saudi Roshen League, and the fans are awaiting the results of these discussions regarding the upcoming deals.
Within the framework of this meeting, Jaisle expressed his concern about the team’s offensive performance. Based on the statistical data collected by his technical staff, it appears that the team faces great challenges in achieving positive results, especially after a series of draws that affected its position in the league table. Therefore, it was necessary to review plans and strategies to continue competing effectively.
The winter transfer period is expected to open, starting on January 5 and ending on February 2, which gives the team an opportunity to make important changes in the lineup. Al-Ahly includes in its current list a group of distinguished foreign players, but the team needs more reinforcements to achieve its ambitions in local and international tournaments.
With the end of the seventh round of the league, Al-Ahly played 13 matches, achieving 7 victories and 5 draws, while losing only one match, which reflects its efforts in trying to remain in the competition, but the team needs to modify its offensive policy to increase productivity and achieve better results during the coming period.
