There was a state of anger within the halls of the Egyptian Al Ahly club due to the decisions of the Danish coach Jes Thorup regarding the Moroccan international Youssef Belamri, as he continues to be excluded from the starting lineup since joining the team.

Press reports stated that ignoring Belamri caused discontent within Al-Ahly's management, especially given the player's physical and technical readiness and the team's need for his services in the left-back position, according to the assessment of several technical experts.

The reports clarified that the Danish coach did not rely on Belamri in the last four matches, whether in the Egyptian League against Wadi Degla and Al Ahly Bank, or in the African Champions League during the encounters with Tanzania's Young Africans and Algeria's JS Kabylie, in the fourth and fifth rounds of the group stage.

The anger within the club intensified after the coaching staff preferred to rely on players in the left-back position, including a player returning from a long absence from matches and another whose performance has noticeably declined, raising questions about the coach's choices.

Reports indicated that Youssef Belamri is surprised by the stance of Al-Ahly's coach, especially since he was the one who decided to sign him during the transfer window. It was confirmed that the player preferred to join Al-Ahly over higher financial offers from Gulf clubs.

According to the source, Belamri expressed his happiness to play for Al-Ahly, emphasizing that his choice was driven by the desire to compete for championships and achieve titles with the Red team.
