Koler's comments after the summit match
Al-Ahly coach Marcel Koller spoke about his team's match against Zamalek, which was held today in the 15th round of the Egyptian Premier League and ended in a 1-1 draw.
"The result of the match is fair and I hoped to win, but the opponent presented a good match, and the match was a summit between the second and the third in the league, and it is very natural in that match. The focus is high, and not in those confrontations. Objectives.
He continued: "The matches in the league have become difficult and all the teams are close, and the lack of victory over Zamalek in four consecutive games, it is possible."
On the absence of Maaloul from the match: "Ali Maaloul is still suffering from injury, so he was not with us."
And he added: "We did not receive many goals. The equalizer was due to a defensive error, but the mistakes are contained in football, and there were many wrong decisions and it was necessary to not receive a goal in this way."
He added: "Ashraf bin Sharqi was injured and he was missing the rhythm of the matches, and this was the reason for not starting in today's match."
