Bashir Al-Tabei, the former star of Zamalek and the Egyptian national team, confirmed that the evaluation of coach Yes Torop should actually start from the Egyptian Super Cup match, as Al-Ahly has not yet been able to face strong competitors, and the previous matches are considered inappropriate to truly determine the team’s level, and this makes the upcoming matches a real challenge to evaluate performance.
Al-Tabei added on the air during the “Number One” program that about 75% of Al-Ahly’s formation against Petrojet was not chosen by Torop, which reflects pressure on the technical staff, as he pointed out that some technical decisions come under the guidance of the assistant team, such as inserting Taher Mohamed Taher as a striker despite the coach not knowing that in advance.
As for the Palestinian player Hamed Hamdan, Al-Tabei expressed his lack of confidence in the player’s level, pointing out that Zamalek must seek to sign high-level players, and stressed the necessity of conducting a comprehensive screening within the team’s ranks if it wants to return to competing strongly in local and continental championships.
Speaking about striker Gradishar, Al-Tabei confirmed that the supporting staff was the reason behind his exclusion from the Petrojet match, warning that some complex decisions may reflect a lack of harmony within the team, pointing out the necessity of working to correct these matters to ensure better performance in the future.
