Ahmed Bilal, the former Egyptian football star, confirmed that Al-Ahly’s start against Abidjan Stadium in the group stage of the African Champions League is a good thing and a message to the rest of the team, that the team is coming strong to maintain the continental championship title.
Bilal said on the Box to Box program on etc satellite channel: “Kahraba is a talented player, but his evaluation will not be complete against a team the size of Abidjan Stadium, and Al-Ahly was reaching the opponent’s goal easily, and certainly scoring two goals is something that counts for Kahraba, but it is difficult to issue an evaluation of the player in The striker position unless he faces strong defences, but he is judged after several matches when he plays three strong matches, including Al-Ahly Bank and Orlando Pirates, even if he achieves what is required of him in the match with South Africa. We will determine at that time whether Al-Ahly will need a strong striker or not.”
He added: “A talented player is one who returns quickly and acquires match sensitivity, and the nature of the Abidjan Stadium match contributed to his brilliance, in addition to the good technical condition of his teammates. Al-Ahly should not play with a pair in position 6. It is possible to have one player next to Imam Ashour and Afsha, especially at the local level.” “Except in a few matches.”
Discount diarrhea
He added: “Sometimes there is diarrhea for the opponent, after leading by three, then missing many goals, and in the end the desired goal was to achieve three points, and it is natural for a state of lack of concentration to occur after leading by three, and conceding two goals is normal and happens in football. “It is not normal for a team to keep a clean sheet in all matches.”
He continued: “Kohler himself treated the match as easy, even with the changes he made in the second half, and therefore he gave some players opportunities to participate. He also made several changes in the lineup and played Akram Tawfiq in the midfield, and Khaled Abdel Fattah as the right back. Kohler wants to gain everything.” Confirmation, but his convictions about the opposing team were not great, so he was keen to make some adjustments.”
He continued: “Percy Tau stayed away from participating recently due to the presence of another player instead of him who participated and performed well, which contributed to the South African sitting on the bench.”
