Imad Al-Nahhas, the coach of Al-Ahly, spoke about the victory achieved by the red team over Bank Al-Ahly with a score of 2-1 in the match that took place on Saturday evening in the seventh round of the decisive phase of the Premier League.

He said in the press conference after the match: "First, I congratulate Al-Ahly club, all the players, the coaching staff, the management, and the fans on this important victory. It was a strong match, and thank God we came out with the three points."

He added: "Imam Ashour put in a great effort, and we needed a player who could deliver accurate crosses, and there was no one better than Ali Maaloul. Indeed, the goal came from a cross we desperately needed."

He continued: "Kouka is also performing wonderfully, whether in the midfield or in the left-back position, while Ali Maaloul is a great and very important player. His presence was not just to waste time, but to add clear technical value."

Al-Nahhas also addressed the pressure of matches, saying: "We are playing 7 matches in 15 days, which is an enormous physical strain. We are at the end of the season, but despite that, the running and effort levels from the players are still evident."

He concluded his statements by saying: "I expected a longer stoppage time, but the important thing is that we regained the spirit of Al-Ahly in the decisive moments. The 90 minutes under the name of Al-Ahly had been absent for some time, but it has returned again."
