Among the gains of yesterday’s victory, for the first time in his career, was Tunisian international Ali Maaloul wearing the Al-Ahly captaincy.

The stands witnessed overwhelming and extraordinary joy from Al-Ahly fans after Ali Maaloul wore the leadership armband in the red team. Kohler said about Al-Ahly’s failure to take the penalty kick from which Kahraba scored the third goal, that he changed the system for arranging penalty kick takers in the Red Giants, indicating that Ali Maaloul, the team captain, is no longer the first taker of those kicks.
  ; The second gain: Mahmoud Metwally, the centre-back, won the Man of the Match award for Al-Ahly and El-Gouna. Metwally, who had many rumors surrounding him, was the first to leave Al-Ahly in the summer. If he continues at the same level, I expect an increase in the renewal rate. He has a renewable year so that Al-Ahly does not fall into the pit of injuries from new. Regarding the change in his beliefs about Mahmoud Metwally, Marcel Kohler said: “There is nothing better than his performance today and his scoring the second goal to answer this question.”
While Marcel Kohler, the technical director of Al-Ahly, revealed the secret of the change in Amr Al-Soulia, the midfielder. , before the start of the El Gouna match, and he was replaced by Karim Nedved due to a muscle injury during the warm-up before the start of the match.
Regarding the rumor that Mohamed Magdy Afsha, the team’s playmaker, was frozen after his absence from the team’s roster for the second consecutive match between Ismaily and El Gouna, he said Kohler: " All players are ready without injuries, except for Ahmed Abdel Qader and Mohamed El-Shenawy. I choose the list for each match according to my point of view. 12 players are excluded. The players who participated in the last two matches gave everything they had and achieved victory. Any player who wants to participate must put in more effort in training. To return to the list again.”
Kohler said: Al-Ahly achieved an important victory today in light of the pressure of matches during the current period, indicating that it is keen to rotate between players.
He added “Amid the pressure of matches, it is very important to think about rotation and changing players, and therefore I am happy with the victory given that the team plays a match every two days.” He continued, “I expected the way El Gouna would play in today’s match… Al-Ahly started the match strongly and we scored the lead goal, and the players were able to implement my instructions well. I also directed the players at halftime to control the ball and be calm, which helped score the second and third goals.”
The rest of Al-Ahly has before facing Esperance, the match between Al-Ittihad on May 7 and Al-Baladiya on the 11th, after which it travels to Tunisia to face Esperance in Bab Souika on May 18.
