José Ribeiro, the coach of Al Ahly, commented on his team's draw against Modern Sport on Saturday evening in the league.

The positive draw with a score of 2-2 concluded the match between Al Ahly and Modern Sport, which took place on Saturday evening in the first round of the Egyptian Premier League.

Ribeiro said in the press conference after the match: "We expected the opponent to perform as they did today. We managed to create some opportunities during the first half, there were two shots during the first half, and there was danger. We were much better in the second half, and we have the desire to continue this way."

He added: "The Al Ahly players were impatient during the match. We tried to score the second goal, but unfortunately, we conceded the second goal. After the equalizer, we tried to score the third goal, but we did not succeed. We could have lost the match against Modern Sport, but we managed to achieve a better result, which is the draw and to exit the match. What happened is a natural occurrence, and there was an impact that occurred in today's match."

He continued: "I need to go back to review the two goals that found their way into Al Ahly's net. The mistake is not from the defenders but from the team's attackers. The second goal came from a set piece, and there was poor marking from the defense."
