Alaa Abdel Ghani, the former Zamalek star, commented on Zamalek's poor situation at present, emphasizing the team's need for a new foreign coach.

Abdel Ghani said on the "Game and the Second" program on Mega FM Radio: "Zamalek resorted to using youth players due to the transfer ban, and for a foreign coach, the easiest thing is to request signing new players, which is why the youth players are marginalized."

He added, "For the first time in my life, I see Zamalek in this state. I hope we get a skilled foreign coach for Zamalek to rely on young players, as we won the league with Ferreira using the youth players."

He continued: "The match between Zamalek and Al-Masry will not be easy for Zamalek. The Whites are in a very poor technical condition, and I hope they get out of this situation quickly."
