Zamalek continues its serious preparations for the upcoming clash against Dekedaha of Somalia, set to take place on Saturday at 6 PM (Cairo time) at Cairo International Stadium, as part of the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup Round of 32 🏆⚽.

During the final training session, Belgian coach Yannick Ferreira focused on putting the finishing touches to his tactical approach for the game. The sessions emphasized fixing both defensive and attacking mistakes that appeared in previous matches, aiming to avoid repeating them against the Somali side.

Ferreira also issued clear warnings to his players about avoiding carelessness or rushing chances in front of goal, stressing the importance of scoring an early goal to unsettle Dekedaha and give Zamalek a strong psychological and technical advantage.

Over the past two days, the technical staff devoted significant attention to studying the opponent by reviewing video footage of Dekedaha’s recent matches, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, and observing their style of play in possession and build-up, as well as identifying the key players they rely on.

Ferreira urged his squad to strictly follow tactical instructions, emphasizing quick ball movement, constant off-the-ball motion, and strong offensive transitions to maintain pressure on the opposition’s goal. The coach aims for Zamalek to secure a comfortable first-leg victory and begin their Confederation Cup journey with confidence 🦁💪.
