Ahmed Abdel Raouf: Not Satisfied with the Performance Against ZESCO
Ahmed Abdel Raouf, the technical director of Zamalek, spoke about his team's performance against ZESCO United of Zambia, emphasizing that the White Knights are under significant pressure due to the tight schedule of matches and the participation of some players with their national teams, in addition to the return of others from various injuries.
Zamalek defeated ZESCO United of Zambia 1-0, with the winning goal scored by Seifedine Jaziri, the White Knights' star, in the first match of the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Abdel Raouf added in a television interview after the match: "We could have finished the game in the first half. I won't say there was negligence, but many times we made the match harder for ourselves."
He pointed out that Zamalek is currently going through difficult circumstances, saying: "I don't have substitutes for the defenders, and there is clear fatigue affecting a large number of players."
He added, "I'm not satisfied with the performance, and we could have finished the match in a better way."
