Amouta Reveals the Details Behind Al Ahly’s Victory and What the Team Needs 🔥

Hussein Amouta, the Moroccan head coach of Al Ahly’s first football team, discussed his side’s victory over Abu Qir Fertilizers, stressing that the coaching staff will use the upcoming period to correct mistakes and improve the team’s overall level, particularly in attack.

Al Ahly secured a 2-0 victory, with the match also witnessing the return of Imam Ashour, while Amouta focused in his post-match comments on the need to develop the team’s performance rather than relying solely on results.

Amouta Thanks Al Ahly Fans for Their Support 📢

Hussein Amouta confirmed that winning was the main objective against Abu Qir Fertilizers, although he admitted that the second goal came later than expected despite the team’s desire to settle the match more comfortably.

“We managed to win today’s match, and the second goal came a little late. It was our objective to score it,” Amouta said.

The Al Ahly coach also took the opportunity to thank the club’s supporters, praising the backing they provided throughout the match and emphasizing the importance of the fans’ support to the team.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tremendous support from the fans. This is the true face of Al Ahly’s supporters,” he said.

Imam Ashour Returns as Amouta Highlights Stability ⭐

Amouta also discussed Imam Ashour’s return to action, confirming that the midfielder delivered a good performance during his time on the pitch against Abu Qir Fertilizers.

“Mistakes are part of football, and we have to work on correcting them,” Amouta said, adding: “We saw Imam Ashour return today, and he delivered a good performance.”

The coach also stressed that Al Ahly currently enjoys a degree of technical stability, particularly as the coaching staff continues working to prepare the players and reach the best possible level before the upcoming challenges.

“We currently have technical stability within the team among the players,” Amouta explained.

Amouta Addresses Saudi Club Rumors

Amouta also addressed reports linking him with Saudi club Al Shabab, insisting that his full focus remains on his project with Al Ahly and that there are no negotiations with the Saudi side.

“There are no negotiations with Al Shabab Saudi, and I am focused on my project with Al Ahly,” Amouta said.

He added: “There are people waiting for the club and trying to create division, but my focus is with Al Ahly.”

Injuries Behind Al Ahly’s Inconsistent Performances

The Al Ahly coach revealed one of the main reasons he believes has affected the team’s performances in some matches, pointing to injuries and the lack of full readiness among several players.

“The reason for the change in Al Ahly’s performance is the presence of a number of injuries and the fact that some players are not fully ready,” Amouta explained.

The upcoming period should give the coaching staff an opportunity to work on restoring the fitness of injured players and improving the team’s understanding and balance, which could help Al Ahly produce more consistent performances.

Amouta: We Need Greater Attacking Efficiency 🏆

Hussein Amouta emphasized that competing for titles requires greater attacking efficiency, stressing that Al Ahly must make better use of its chances in front of goal.

“To win titles, the team has to be more attacking,” Amouta said.

He added: “We had eight or nine attacking opportunities, but we managed to score only two goals. For me, that is a low scoring percentage.”

Amouta’s comments underline that improving the attacking side of the team will be one of the coaching staff’s priorities in the coming period, particularly because creating chances alone is not enough if they are not consistently converted into goals.

Why Did Amouta Substitute Imam Ashour?

The Al Ahly coach also explained his decision to substitute Imam Ashour during the match, revealing that the move was intended to protect the player and avoid unnecessary physical strain that could affect his upcoming appearances.

“I substituted Imam Ashour in order to preserve him for the upcoming matches, whether with Al Ahly or the national team,” Amouta said.

The decision reflects a gradual approach to managing the player’s readiness, particularly with the importance of keeping key players available for the matches ahead.

Clean Sheet Gives Al Ahly Defensive Boost

Amouta concluded his comments by highlighting the defensive aspect of the performance, pointing out that keeping a clean sheet against Abu Qir Fertilizers was a positive element of the match.

“We managed to keep a clean sheet today, and that is a good thing,” he said.

Between securing the victory, correcting mistakes and improving the players’ fitness levels, Al Ahly now enters an important phase aimed at restoring technical stability, with Amouta placing particular emphasis on improving the team’s attacking strength and converting more chances into goals.
