Al Ahly Intensify Preparations for Abu Qir Fertilizers.. Ammouta Targets a Return to Winning Ways 🏆🔥

Al Ahly continued preparations for their upcoming match against Abu Qir Fertilizers, scheduled for Tuesday in the fifth round of the Egyptian Premier League, with clear focus within the coaching staff led by Moroccan head coach Hussein Ammouta.

The coaching staff is working during the current training sessions to improve the players’ physical and technical readiness while addressing some of the issues that appeared during the previous round against Arab Contractors, a match that ended 1-1 and saw Al Ahly drop two points in the title race.

⚽ Technical Talk Before Training

Al Ahly’s training session began with Hussein Ammouta holding a short meeting with the players, during which he presented a number of instructions related to the current stage before the squad moved on to the scheduled training program ahead of the Abu Qir Fertilizers match.

Technical meetings are an important part of the team’s preparations, particularly before matches that require strong concentration and attention to detail in both defensive and attacking phases.

The coaching staff is also expected to continue explaining the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses during the remaining days before the match while preparing the players to deal with different scenarios that could emerge during the encounter.

💪 Physical Work to Improve Readiness

The training session included a series of physical exercises based on the program prepared by the coaching staff, with the aim of getting the players ready for the match and maintaining a high level of physical fitness.

The coaching staff is looking to strike a balance between increasing physical workload and avoiding excessive fatigue, particularly with a busy schedule and several consecutive fixtures.

This stage is particularly important for Al Ahly, who need to benefit from all available squad members while maintaining the readiness of both starters and substitutes.

🧤 Strong Goalkeeping Session

Al Ahly’s goalkeepers also went through a strong specialized training session as part of the overall preparation for Abu Qir Fertilizers.

The coaching staff places significant attention on the goalkeeping position, particularly because maintaining concentration and consistent readiness is important amid strong competition for places within the squad.

Having more than one goalkeeper in top condition also provides the coaching staff with greater options throughout the season, especially in the event of injuries or absences.

🧠 Ammouta Focuses on Tactical Work

After completing the physical portion of the session, Al Ahly players moved on to tactical exercises and specialized drills, before the coaching staff concluded the training with a strong football practice game.

This stage is designed to implement the ideas Ammouta wants the team to use during the match, with work focused on off-the-ball movement, quick circulation, pressing and dealing with available spaces.

The practice game also gives the coaching staff an opportunity to assess the players’ readiness and determine how well they have understood the instructions while considering which players could be relied upon in the starting lineup.

🏥 Yasser Ibrahim and Koka Continue Rehabilitation

Regarding the injured players, Yasser Ibrahim and Ahmed Nabil Koka continued their physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions as part of their individual recovery programs before returning to team training and competitive matches.

The coaching staff is monitoring both players’ physical condition in coordination with the medical team, particularly because the absence of any player could force tactical adjustments and changes to the lineup.

Monitoring the injured players remains part of Al Ahly’s plan to keep as many squad members fit and available as possible during the upcoming period.

📢 Al Ahly Seek a Strong Response Against Abu Qir

The Abu Qir Fertilizers match is particularly important for Al Ahly after the draw against Arab Contractors in the fourth round.

The Red Giants are looking to return to winning ways and secure all three points, particularly because dropping more points during the opening rounds could make the battle for the top of the standings more difficult.

The match also represents an opportunity for the coaching staff to deliver a strong response on the pitch, improve the team’s overall performance and demonstrate progress in both attacking and defensive areas.

🔥 An Important Match as the League Campaign Continues

With the match approaching, Al Ahly continue training with clear emphasis on physical and tactical preparation while awaiting the final decision regarding the lineup that will start the game.

The coaching staff hopes to have the players in the best possible condition before kickoff, using the final training sessions to address mistakes and prepare the substitutes and recovering players.

The main objective for Al Ahly remains clear: beat Abu Qir Fertilizers, restore confidence and secure three points as the team continues to compete strongly for the Egyptian Premier League title.
