Ferreira: We Deserved Victory Against Farco
Wednesday 27-08-2025
Yannick Ferreira, the coach of Zamalek, confirmed that his team deserved the victory over Farco in the league.

Zamalek won against Farco with a score of 1-0, with the goal scored by Chico Banza in the match held during the fourth round of the Egyptian Premier League.

Ferreira added in the press conference after the match: "We knew how to deal with the game and how to exploit the final third of the field. In the first half, we couldn't finish the attacks well, and there weren't enough players inside the opponent's penalty area, so we couldn't translate our control in the first half into goals, and we need to work on finishing the attacks better."

He continued: "In the second half, we scored an early goal, which is the best scenario to prevent the opponent from wasting time, as this happened in the first half, and no one spoke about it. We respect any coach's plan, whether offensive or defensive, but trying to kill the game reduces the enjoyment of football. My message to the journalists is to talk about this issue because it is not the image that Egypt should present to the world about football. We have a responsibility on the field to give our best, and referees are required not to allow teams to kill the joy of football by wasting time."

He pointed out: "After we scored the leading goal, we continued to dominate, and I was very happy. My joy would have increased if we had scored more goals, and we need to handle some situations better, but I see that the victory is deserved in today's match."

He added: "Adi Al-Dabbagh participates in the matches because he is physically ready, and we do not care about the results of other teams; we have our own motivations away from anything else."

He continued: "Ahmed Hamdi needs to work hard to be with the team, and there are players who are putting in maximum effort with the team, and I hope to talk about the team as a whole."

He concluded: "We encountered bad luck in the match, as one ball hit the post and another went past the post, and we had many chances that we did not take advantage of, and we are working to improve in the upcoming period."
