Omar Gaber: We Have Closed the Africa Chapter and Our Focus is Now on the League
Omar Gaber, the captain of the Zamalek team, spoke about the White team's qualification for the African Confederation Cup final.
Zamalek qualified for the Confederation Cup final after eliminating Algeria's CR Belouizdad by winning the first leg (1-0) and drawing the second leg (0-0).
Jaber said in statements to "beIN Sports": "Thank God for reaching the final, it was a tough match against CR Belouizdad."
He added: "We had confidence after the result of the first leg, and we delivered an excellent performance in terms of defense and organization. Now, we have closed the Africa chapter and our focus is on the league."
He continued: "If the disallowed goal had been counted, it would have given us a strong boost and made us feel reassured. But thank God, the most important thing was not conceding any goals and keeping a clean sheet."
He continued: "We are fortunate to play for Zamalek because it competes in all championships, and we are up to the responsibility. The upcoming period is very important, and the fans are always supporting us. God willing, we will make the fans happy with the two championships (the league and the Confederation Cup)."
