The Swiss is working Marcel Koller, Al-Ahly coachThe team held video lectures with its players to explain the mistakes made during the first leg against Kenyan Gor Mahia, which was held yesterday, Sunday, in Kenya, and ended with the Red Devils winning 3-0, scored by Rami Rabia (1) and Percy Tau (2) goals, to work on correcting them before playing the second leg at Cairo Stadium next Saturday, after the Red Team players wasted clear opportunities to score against the Kenyan champion.
Marcel Koller and his assistants are discussing the preparation plan for the Gor Mahia match and watching a number of video clips from the first leg, in order to know the Kenyan champion’s playing style and method in defense and attack, and the most prominent elements in its ranks, before developing the appropriate plan that will enable Al-Ahly to cross it and achieve the desired goal.
Al-Ahly did not participate in the round of 64 as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) exempted them due to their ranking in the tournament. In the next round, Gor Mahia qualified for the second preliminary round to meet Al-Ahly, at the expense of Al-Merrikh Juba, by defeating them 5-2 on aggregate.
On the other hand, he is looking for Al-Ahly Club Officials With their counterparts in the Professional Clubs Association, the method and date for receiving the league shield, which the team won last season for the second time in a row and the 44th in the club’s history.
And consult Al-Ahly With the Professional Clubs Association to determine the date and method of receiving the league shield, and although the two parties had previously agreed that the association would hand over the shield to Al-Ahly in a large ceremony in one of Cairo’s hotels, the lack of time may prevent that.
The Clubs Association initially decided to hand over the league shield to Al-Ahly in the last match of last season, but the fact that Al-Ahly coach Marcel Koller and the team’s main players were given a rest after clinching the title and playing the last 3 matches of the season with the juniors and substitutes made Al-Ahly request to postpone receiving the shield until the coach and the team’s main stars were present at the league receiving ceremony.
Al-Ahly then contacted the club association to hold a party at one of the hotels and it was agreed to hand over the shield to Al-Ahly, but the lack of time and the team’s local and African commitments may cause the league shield to be handed over to Al-Ahly without holding any parties, as it will be sent to the club away from any celebratory manifestations, but the matter will be determined in the coming days, as a party may be held during which the shield will be handed over to Al-Ahly if an appropriate date is agreed upon.
