Egyptian sports critic Karim Razq Allah recently discussed several key issues surrounding Al Ahly Football Club. He focused on the team's current performance, the position of the technical director, Hussein Amouta, and the roles of various players. Razq Allah was speaking on the radio program "Sabahko Sport". The critic highlighted that there are differing opinions within the club regarding Amouta's tenure. Some believe he needs more time to implement his strategies, while others are concerned about the team's recent performance.
Razq Allah pointed out that Amouta has shown ability in managing big matches. However, the team struggles against less formidable opponents. This has led to mixed reviews of his performance so far. The critic also mentioned that there are two main perspectives on Amouta's situation. One side argues that he needs patience and time to demonstrate his capabilities fully. On the other hand, some are worried about the impact of his tactics on the team's results.
The role of Wail Jumaa, the club's current football director, was also discussed. Razq Allah noted that Jumaa's current position is different from his previous role as an analyst and critic. In his new role, Jumaa is tasked with supporting and protecting the team's coach. The critic observed that initially, players were somewhat apprehensive of Jumaa due to his straightforwardness and past criticisms of players and coaches. However, they have since found him to be approachable and supportive.
Razq Allah touched on the goalkeeping situation at Al Ahly. He revealed that there are two main proposals regarding the distribution of playing time between goalkeepers Mohamed El-Shenawy and Mustafa Shobier. One proposal suggests a rotation policy, with each goalkeeper playing three matches. The other proposal recommends that Shobier play in the league matches, while El-Shenawy participates in cup competitions and other tournaments.
The critic also discussed the status of player Mohamed Hani. He indicated that Hani's issue is not financial but rather related to his playing time. Razq Allah mentioned that Hani had previously benefited from exceptions concerning his participation percentages in previous seasons. Furthermore, the critic talked about Ahmed Sid "Zizo", who has yet to meet expectations since joining Al Ahly. However, Razq Allah noted that Zizo's recent performances, including scoring in recent matches, offer him a chance to prove his worth.
Razq Allah expressed that Al Ahly is keen on participating in the Egyptian Super Cup. He emphasized that the presence of popular teams like Al Ahly and Zamalek enhances the tournament's value. The critic stressed that the club aims to maximize its benefits from participating in various competitions. The goal is to perform well and serve the team and its fans.
Finally, Razq Allah highlighted the importance of patience and support from fans for the team and its coach.
