Why Nasser Mansy Started Against Bank Al Ahly Despite Criticism

Khaled Ghandour has revealed the reason behind Moataz Gamal's decision to include Nasser Mansy in the starting lineup for Zamalek's recent match against Al Ahly Bank in the second round of the Premier League.

Zamalek successfully overcame Al Ahly Bank with a score of 3-0 last Wednesday in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League.

Mohamed Ghandour explained on his program "Stadium Al-Mihrab" that Moataz Jamal's decision was both technical and aimed at providing direct psychological support to the player, especially after facing fan criticism following the match against Al-Ittihad Al-Sakandari in the first round due to his declining performance.

The head coach emphasized the importance of keeping Mansey in the starting lineup to instill confidence in him and avoid any psychological impact from criticism. He assured him of the coaching staff's belief in his abilities and their desire to help him regain his form.

Zamalek is gearing up to face Petrojet on Monday at Cairo International Stadium in the third round of the Premier League.
