Broadcaster Mohamed Shabana said Zamalek coach Moatamed Gamal is benefiting from the team’s participation in the Egypt Capital Cup to test players from the youth setup and look for alternatives, despite Zamalek’s defeat to Wadi Degla. Shabana felt that some Zamalek players performed well in the match.
Shabana explained that Zamalek’s crowded domestic and African schedule, including the league and the CAF Champions League, makes avoiding player fatigue a priority for Moatamed Gamal. He added that the coach is giving young players opportunities because he needs alternatives, given that he has no registration restrictions, as Shabana put it.
Shabana discussed several players. He felt that Chico Banza could play for around 30 minutes, and that it was important for Nasser Mansi to start after returning from suspension. He also noted that Adam Kaied started after an absence, and said Ahmed El Jefali had yet to perform at a level that proved he was an addition to Zamalek, while noting that he had been away for a long time.
