He continued: “When I played before against Wydad in Casablanca, we would lose or draw, but in South Africa we win, it will be related to the sum of the two matches and not one match. We can achieve a positive result and we can win, but we have to realize that it is related to the two matches and we have to play outside.” Earth to achieve a result that helps us qualify for return. “

He continued: “Sometimes I try to take advantage of the tension between the Al-Ahly and Zamalek fans. When I beat Al-Ahly, I got congratulations from the Zamalek fans, and when I won against Zamalek, I got congratulations from the Al-Ahly fans, so I used to benefit from this matter, but now I belong to Al-Ahly and Zamalek is a competitor.”

When you are a leader, your goal is always to create mutual respect with the players and this is the first goal that must be pursued .. The easy way to deal with the player is Always talking and the main thing is to respect the club’s motto, because it is more important to me and the players.

We as coaches get our salaries to help the players.” “To achieve the greatest commitment, develop and train them. I am like the maestro in the band, and part of my job is to bring out the best of the players through good training.”
