The technical staff of Egypt's Al Ahly football team, led by Hussein Amouta, have given Emam Ashour, a midfielder for the team, specific instructions ahead of their highly anticipated match against Zamalek on Sunday. According to a source within the club, the team's management has asked Ashour to postpone filming any new advertisements until the match is over. This comes as Ashour has been busy filming several commercials during this period.
Amouta has reportedly requested that Ashour focus on preparing for the Zamalek match and put his promotional commitments on hold until after the game. Ashour is set to resume filming advertisements once the match has concluded. This development highlights the importance of the match for Al Ahly and the emphasis on Ashour's role in the team's strategy.
In a related move, Al Ahly has extended Emam Ashour's contract until 2030. This decision reflects the club's commitment to retaining one of its key midfielders for the foreseeable future. The extension comes after speculation about Ashour's future, with rumors of external offers, particularly from Turkish club Konyaspor.
Ashour expressed his delight at extending his contract with Al Ahly, stating that the decision to renew was made with conviction and a desire to continue his career with the team and achieve more titles. He emphasized that being part of Al Ahly offers him the opportunity to win trophies and that his goal is to make the club's fans happy and compete in all competitions.
The contract extension for Ashour underscores Al Ahly's determination to keep one of its standout midfielders. Ashour's performances since joining Al Ahly have been significant, and the club is keen on maintaining its strong squad. The move effectively closes the door on any potential departure for Ashour, who had been linked with moves abroad.
Ashour also praised Al Ahly's manager, Hussein Amouta, describing him as a great coach with a strong personality. He noted that Amouta has been supportive and communicative, ensuring that all players get their opportunities based on the circumstances of each match. Al Ahly's squad depth, with over 30 players, allows for this approach.
The match between Al Ahly and Zamalek is a significant event in Egyptian football, and the tension is palpable.
